Fall Foliage: Hikes to Take This Weekend

Experts are saying this is the weekend to enjoy the beauty of Fall’s changing colors. 

Thanks to the onset of cold nights, leaves are preparing for winter drop and putting a show of autumn’s reds, golds and yellows. You don’t have to go far to see nature’s spectacular display, there a few spots in Woodinville. Venture a bit farther afield for more dense displays.

If you’re looking for a fall color trip this weekend, check out the Washington state LeafQuest guide, from our friends at Mapquest, which highlights the Mount Rainier Loop, North Cascades National Park and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

Local meteorologist Michael Fagin says the best hike for fall color this weekend is Lake Easton and has a description of the hike on his website here.

And if you're traveling out of state, check out the Leafquest guide to the best leaf-peeping spots in the country.
