The Skookum Flats hike is one of our family’s favorites and it’s located just past Enumclaw off HWY 410. Choose between a shorter or longer river walk through old-growth forest to a 250-foot cascading waterfall. The Skookum Flats Trail meanders alongside the White River between the Dalles and Silver Springs Campgrounds, just outside the northeast entrance of Mount Rainier National Park. As the name suggests, Skookum Flats involves little in the way of elevation gain, taking hikers on a gentle tour through old-growth forest, past mossy rocks and fallen trees, with plenty of river views. If you opt for the shorter, 4.2 mile hike with just 100 feet of elevation gain, begin from the trailhead on FR 73 just beyond the bridge. Once you're on the trail, head south, following the river upstream. If you're after a longer hike, start from the trailhead on FR 7160 and begin your hike northward, heading downstream. From either direction, the trail is wide and mostly free of rocks and roots, making it an ideal outing for all abilities.

While this is a little further away (approx 2hr drive) it is well worth scheduling a day (or weekend) trip to see this charming Bavarian-style town tucked away in the Cascade mountains along Hwy 2. Not only does the town remind you of “The Sound of Music”, but the drive to get there has scenery not to be missed. Festivals like May Day and Octoberfest are especially fun. You could also make this a weekend trip!
