brugroffil posted:We're coming from Illinois (), but we've spent a decent amount of time out west in California, Washington, Utah and Montana over the past few years. Our favorite hikes tend to be more of the panaromic types e.g. Highline Trail in Glacier NP, Skyline at Mt. Rainier. We usually put about 500-700 miles on a rental car on our trips, so we're good with driving all over to get to the different spots, too. If we wanted to check out the high desert or the Coast (loved the Olympic coast in Washington), any particular spots you'd recommend? Almost any gorge hike is great. Just be early, they get insanely packed every day by about 10 or 11am, especially as you get closer to I-84. I liked the view from Angel's Rest, near Bridal Veil. Fun hike. Windy as poo poo at the top as you gaze out over miles of the Columbia River. On the Washington side Silver Star is pretty cool, got to see Rainier, Hood, St Helen's, Jefferson, and Adam's all from the same spot after an not too hard, scenic climb along a cliffside.

Yeah, Mt St Helen's is ridiculous. "you are now entering the blast zone" when you're like still 20 miles away. Chilling.
