Hike ideas for Washington Pass?

[mle]

Does anybody know of any good (easy to follow, not super strenuous) day hikes in the Washington Pass area that would be suitable and fun for a couple of not-very-experienced hikers who are unfamiliar with the area? I would like to make a good recomendation to somebody from out of town.

 

Thanks!

kangaroo pass. start at hairpin, follow trail on right side of the creek. you do have to make your way across some talus fields. not that crowded.

 

of you want to go to a lake there are cutthroat and blue.

Maple Pass loop from Rainey Pass

PCT to Cutthroat Pass from Rainey Pass

Cutthroat Pass from Cutthroat Lake trail head (with a stop at the Lake)

Blue Lake from Washington Pass

Blue Pk Col (SEWS SE buttress) from Washington Pass (Blue Lk trail)

Kangaroo Pass from switchback

 

(not at or near Wa Pass)

Nice hikes at Harts Pass

Nice short hikes at Sun Mountain

Many hikes up the Twisp River

 

Many of these require parking passes

Another pretty easy hike is Goat Mountain out of Mazama. Great views and the guy at the lookout is a hoot.

I think the nicest one in the Wa Pass area is Blue Lake. Very pretty and super easy hike.

Tootle on over to Hart's Pass (not so very far) and take the PCT south to Grasshopper Pass. Pure unfucked heaven.....
