The entire Pacific Northwest region is an outdoor adventure lover’s paradise, with plenty of well-documented hikes and trails awaiting your next trip. From the Mediterranean-like wet west side of the state to the semiarid steppe lands of the east side, Washington has some amazing locales that will serve as backdrops for your next tournament. We’ve compiled a few of the lesser known but equally beautiful places to visit so you can plan your next excursion while you’re there. CAPE FLATTERY As the furthest northwest tip of the contiguous United States, Cape Flattery is much more than a fun trivia answer. Managed by the Makah Tribe, this surprisingly easy hike is mainly accessible via boardwalk as you traverse coastal cliffs through a mist-drenched forest of Sitka spruce. Three quarters of a mile into the 1.2-mile hike stands a viewing platform, perfect for watching the sunset as you look beyond the light- house located on Tatoosh Island. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the whales in the distance, while other common wildlife includes puffins, guillemots, murres and sea otters.

The Diablo Lake Trail, located in the North Cascades about 124 miles northeast of Seattle, begins at the flanks of Sourdough Mountain. As you hike along the path you’ll find excellent views from overlooks of Pyramid, Snowfield, Davis and Colonial Peaks before coming to a mesmerizing gorge featuring 700 foot high waterfalls. Continuing on you’ll find an overlook of the Ross Lake Dam, perfect for taking in the immense Cascades surrounding you while still providing great views of Diablo Lake itself.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES April-May 1969 2 THE WILD CASCADES MORE (BUT NOT THE LAST) ABOUT ALPINE LAKES We recently carried in these pages an article by Brock Evans, Northwest Conservation Representative, on Alpine Lakes: Stepchild of the North Cascades. Mr. L. O. Barrett, Supervisor of Snoqualmie National Forest, feels the article contained "some rather significant misinterpretations" and has asked the opportunity to respond. Following are Mr. Barrett's comments on portions of Mr. Evans' article, together with Mr. Evans' rejoinders. Barrett: The Alpine Lakes Area is still wilderness quality in part because of the nature of the land, and in part because the Forest Service has managed it as wilderness type area since 1946. We will continue to protect it from timber harvesting, mining and excessive recreation use until Congress makes a decision about its suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Evans: The wilderness parts of the Alpine Lakes region that are being lost are those which the Forest Service has chosen not to manage as wilderness. The 1946 date referred to is the date of the establishment of the Alpine Lake Limited Area. This designation granted a measure of administrative protection to a substantial part of the region; but much was left out. The logging in the Miller River, Foss River, Deception Creek, Cooper Lake, and Eight Mile Creek valleys all took place in wilderness-type areas which we proposed for protection which were outside the limited area. The Forest Service cannot protect its lands from mineral prospecting or, ulti­ mately, from mining operations of some types — because of the mining laws.
