10 day hikes that’s too much!!!
Always wanted to do this but never had a chance. Enjoy guys.
Stop ruining the hiking experience with your effing drones! Someone needs to invent some kind of jammer to use when they’re out in the wilderness. Also, pretty irresponsible of you to recommend the Vance Creek Bridge.
10 days is very long for a hike!🤣
great video mate!
Top 10 beginner hikes for sure. But man, you guys missed so many hikes.
We were planning to go hiking but didn’t have any idea which are the best go to hiking spots in Seattle Washington, you’re awesome thanks for sharing your video we’re now heading to rattlesnake trial 😀
thanks for the vid – completely agree, Rattlesnake Ledge is the perfect gateway hike, I love watching first timers get to the top with the "holy cr@p, I just climbed a f’n mountain!" expression on their faces. One quick FYI, the access road to Pilchuck is closed this year for maintenance, (but it’s awesome as well, just be ready for the boulder scramble to the very top.)
Planning a trip in August. Great info!!
Rattlesnake Ledge: “Never hike in the daytime here; always come in the evening … It makes it one of the best places to come for a day hike out of the city.” Could you please clarify for a novice like me? Is a “day hike” not necessarily a hike during the daytime? And how does hiking during the evening affect visibility? Is it not difficult to see where you’re walking? Thanks for the suggestions. 👍
You guys are brave. I’ll stick with the super easy hikes. Great views you guys had though.
Loved the waterfalls! Can’t wait to go see them myself.
Me and my girlfriend hiked the ice caves it was really beautiful
Outstanding video – thank you for the miles and elevation.
thanks!!!
As someone that has lived out here on the the plateau for 21 years, yes it is a beautiful state. It is not a great, beautiful, fun or safe city. Seattle is in fact a cesspool. The first 10 years I lived here that was not the case. It has changed for the worse. Lots of reasons why, none of which had to be. A series of unforced errors by the city and King County. That aside, from 4th of July through late Sept or early October, depending on the year, Washington State is one of the nicest places to experience mountainous wilderness.
Awesome 👏
Sauk mountain, tipso lake loop, and oyster dome are pretty sweet too
Hello! Your video just made me more excited about my trip to Seattle trip next month. Question, is Seattle has strict regulations when it comes to flying drones in parks and hike spots? I want to take some drone shots too when I get to Rattlesnake Ledge. Thanks!
Amazing trails love it can’t wait to go see some of them.
These are BABY hikes, not day hikes. Jeepers.
Ice caves are closed, you can cross the river at your own risk.
Awesome Video! I appreciate how you present everything and narrate as well. I love how beautiful Washington is, which I think you capture perfectly!
Have you ever done Crystal Lakes, Kelly Butte and granite Mountain? Those are spectacular hikes!
Hello! Amazing views!!! What type of drone are you using? Thinking of getting one myself 🙂
Hopefully air quality becomes better, then I am planning to hike over at Franklin falls on Sunday
Nice video!
Great video. But some of the best hikes are in lower Washington near the Columbia River gorge. Lewis River Falls hike is a must.
Every hike are the best! I’m glad I did all of them! If anyone wants a challenge do Mailbox Peak and don’t give up I know you can do it!
I would have totally disagree with you about your number one pick oh, but you said do not hiking in the daytime oh, but you like it in the morning or night that is absolutely right that’s the only time I would like it. I’m surprised you did not mention Mount Storm King my son and I hiked it last weekend and it is the best I’ve ever been on
This seems to be a very fun city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Are they pet friendly? Aka are you allowed to bring your dog on the hikes????
Literally SHOCKED you said Rattlesnake, could not disagree more. I will literally never do that hike again its just not worth it. Also its only a day hike from Seattle if you can drive there, hike it, and drive back in one day. Something that is 3 hours away is not a day hike.
Meat market in the summer 🤢
When is the best time to go to pilchuck ?
Awesome Video! 😎
Walking to the Vance Creek Bridge is allowed even though goes through private property. You must stay on the easement through the private property. Actually walking on the bridge is not allowed because of the danger. The AllTrails website has a description of the hike and recent trip reports.
I’m moving to Seattle in the next few weeks, it’s legal to use drones? I thought they were basically banned all over in national and state parks.
Is having a 4×4 really necessary or just to make things easier and more comfortable. Like will my rental Toyota Camry make it to most of these?
Hi folks, I have seen a lot of people suggesting Rattlesnake-ledge to watch the sunset from the top. Is it easy enough to come back right after the sunset? What’s the latest time you would recommend starting the way back?
Thank you
Just googled “rainy day hikes near Seattle” and this popped up. You’re famous!
Great list! I’ve done about half of these and even the #1 more than once and would agree. Gonna try a few of the ones I haven’t done.
Lake Serene was amazing
Very well put together…..good look tyvm.
spectacular video Bosch Voyage. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the great work.
Jee ..my anxiety
Im going to Seatle soon and lookin for good trails awesome vid
No Mt. Dickerman? Bruh…
thank u for this video!! did u talk about round trips or just one way? so i have to multiple every times you said how many miles it takes to finish one trail.
do u know if we can get to any of these hike trails by public transportation?
my top 3 are Tolmie peak, High rock and Franklin falls.
thank you!!
I live in kirkland right outside of seattle and I 100% degree with rattle snake being number one. I have gone and a 5 yearold and as a 13 year old and it is always so fun!
How were you able to fly a drone in national park?
