For proof of this, simply refer to this roundup of 15 (yes -- 15!) short hikes in Washington that are all under five miles. These trails traverse a variety of terrain and landscapes and really give you a wonderful, diverse, and well-rounded hiking experience of the Evergreen State.
On the list, we're partial to this moderate trail near Duvall, Washington, that leads to a 25-foot waterfall along Cherry Creek. The picturesque falls drop off a rocky ledge into a pool that serves as a popular swimming hole during the summertime, making this five-mile trek kind of perfect, in our opinion. Other short-and-sweet hikes in Washington you won't want to miss include the Little Si Trail, Silver Star Mountain Trail, Second Beach Trail, Comet Falls Trail, and Twin Falls Trail.
