Skagit River Trail

Time: 4-6 hours

Elevation gain: none. Level: Easy.

Basic description: Low elevation hike following the Skagit River. This hike is all about the trees. This is not an adrenaline junky trail and if you only enjoy yourself when you're risking your life, stay home. For me, there is nothing better than hiking through a beautiful forest. There are two ways to hike this trail: 1) By parking one car on either end of the trail and doing the whole 14 km stretch with no back tracking. 2) Park at one end and return to the same spot.

Take Highway 1 East past Hope. Take Highway 3 at it's parting from Highway 5. From there, turn off after 25.8 km to Sumallo Grove. If you reach the Rhododendron Flats, You've gone too far.
