Right outside of Electric, Washington is a trail that you probably haven’t hiked before. It’s called the Northrup Canyon Trail and will give you some fantastic views. The hike takes you right into a canyon where you’ll be surrounded by rock on either side of the trail. The terrain is a little different from what you will typically find in Washington. Wear sturdy hiking boots because the ground is known for being rocky.

Northrup Canyon Trail gets lighter traffic as compared to other hikes in the state.
