That looks perfect! I’m vacationing from the east coast with my mom so I wouldn’t want anything too difficult and I read some trails are closed in October. We’re passing through spending 3 days in that area.

Goat Rocks! You can go up Goat Ridge to Goat Lake from there.

My friend told me that the Naches Peak Loop was really nice. She went last week.

Naches Peak loop is a bit of a drive north (half hour ish?) but is high bang for your buck and not very strenuous.
Hopefully we get some rain that gets the wildfires and smoke outta the way before you arrive

I downloaded that app this morning song with Gaia GPS!

I saw that one on a top trails list!

I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll definitely check it out.

Another vote for silver falls! It's so beautiful!

Before going I'd check in on the goat rocks fire. There has been a wildfire burning out there the last few weeks.

Oh that’s not bad. We’re doing a road trip there driving Portland, Yakima, Tacoma, port angeles, around the coast and ending in Seattle. 1/2 hour is peanuts at that point! Haha and thank you, I hope so too.

I heard about that. I’m praying it works out for us and we can avoid the fires while still enjoying the area.

Thanks! I’ll check those out.

I love the Tieton canyon from Yakima to White Pass, it’s quite scenic. Sounds like a lovely trip.

We were just at the Mt Rainier NP yesterday …the only drive in park entrance open right now is the Nisqually entrance (southwest corner of the park) …the others are closed for the season. …wasn’t sure of your mom’s activity level, but there’s MANY short or longer hikes that are well marked through there as well.

YES! THIS!
It really is a stunning hike - my suggestion is to go clockwise around the loop. Otherwise your back is to the mountain for much of the trail.

Thank you!
Acceptable-While8668 OP t1_isb81sp wrote
Perfect, thank you for the heads up. I’ll have to look at what trails are available from that entrance. My mom is good to walk for a few hours, but I don’t think she can do steep inclines.

Silver Falls trail out of Ohanapecosh campground in Mt Rainier park is easy.
