Autumn Activities In Washington

What are the best Autumn hikes in  Washington? 

We have a couple of Autumn hikes in Washington to recommend! It does start to get a little chilly early here, so make sure you pack a sweater before lacing up your boots. One great hike in Washington is Cowiche Canyon. The colors are stunning, and while it is a slightly longer hike at six miles, it's more than worth your time. We also think you will love hiking the Maple Pass loop, this Washington hike is stunning in all seasons, but it really shines in Fall. The stunning views of lakes, dense forestation, and massive open sky will make you feel like you've stepped into another world on this hike, one free of the conventions and stresses of the modern world -- and who doesn't need to feel that on occasion?

Are there any haunted hotels in Washington? 

Sometimes we crave a little bit of the spooky in our lives, and what better way to get that than spending the night (or a few) in a haunted hotel in Washington? The Hotel Sorrento is a historic hotel in Washington that is over 100 years old and not only is it spooky, but it is also classy beyond all means! This beautiful hotel has been named one of the thirteen most haunted hotels in America, and there are apparitions of all types to be spotted here. Luckily, so far, they all seem to be pretty friendly. Most of these haunted places in Washington seem to house pretty amicable spirits, but that doesn't mean that the lights they flicker and things they move won't prove to be a bit scary!

When can I see peak fall foliage in Washington?

With all of our peaks and valleys, the Evergreen state is an ideal spot for leaf peepers, despite its slightly contradictory nickname. There are many awesome spots to go to view fall leaves in Washington. You can take a foliage walk through the Washington Park arboretum, or soak up the impressive views at Lake Sacagawea. We are also big fans of fall foliage train rides as well, where you can just sit back and take in the beauty. If you want to see lots of spots in one go, we have put together a Washington state fall foliage road trip that brings you to four different locations.
