Step into the fairy tale world of autumn, Maple Pass Golden Pine Scenic Tour

[Rainbow] Seattle’s autumn is extremely colorful and beautiful, but it is also short-lived. How can such a beautiful scenery be without outdoor adventures? In the golden pine season, hike along Maple Pass. As the autumn wind blows, the golden pines gradually turn from emerald green to golden yellow, like a painting that depicts the splendor of autumn. [Glister] Destination Guide: Maple Pass [Pushpin] This hiking trail is located near North Cascades National Park, about a three-hour drive from downtown Seattle. The [Pushpin] loop trail is 7.4 miles long and I would consider it moderately difficult. The total climb is about 2,200 feet, and some sections are quite steep. It took us more than 4 hours to complete the hike. [Pushpin] Maple Pass Trail is a closed loop, so there’s no need to backtrack. It is recommended to walk counterclockwise to save energy, and the scenery up the mountain will be more beautiful. The entire journey surrounds Ann Lake, and you can enjoy the beauty of the lake surrounded by mountains from different dimensions. [Pushpin] Parking fee: You need to purchase the Northwest Forest Pass, the Day Pass price is US$5. [Leaf] Tips: [RoundNails] Most of the roads are not shaded by trees, and the ultraviolet rays in Seattle are still strong in autumn, so you must take sun protection measures. [RoundNails] The entire route is dusty, so it is recommended to wear a protective mask😷. [RoundNails] If you are physically weak, it is recommended to prepare a trekking pole, which will make it easier to go down the mountain.
