We’ll dive right Adventure Treks with a day hike to Pyramid Lake! Get to know your new best friends while walking beneath Douglas fir, hemlock, and cedar trees. Wildflowers and vibrantly green moss bespeckle the meadows lining the trail, and soon you’ll find yourself at the peaceful Pyramid Lake, where floating log “gardens” and yellow water lilies dot the surface. Enjoy the view of nearby Pyramid Peak!

Hike for two days through glaciers—more than anywhere else in the United States!—framed by gigantic Fraser fir trees and cascading rivers. The incredibly lush landscape offers multiple opportunities to marvel at its biodiversity, and with a little bit of luck, you might even spot a few sunbathing marmots, mule deer or black-tailed deer, and mountain goats scrambling up rock faces! Then trade your backpack for oars as you canoe on Ross Lake’s striking turquoise waters, looking up at the soaring peaks surrounding you.

Spend two days of sea kayaking among the stunning San Juan archipelago—known for having the largest concentration of bald eagles in the country! You’ll glide through calm waters with your guide pointing out harbor seals, sea lions, river otters, and porpoises. If you’re lucky, you may even see an Orca. Gaze east for gorgeous long-range views of Glacier Peak, Mt. Baker, Mt. Shuksan, and set your sights down south for a peek of Mt. Olympus. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Mt. Rainier!

One of the most rewarding summit hikes in Washington awaits! Perched atop a rocky outcropping is a restored fire lookout shelter—the perfect spot for the celebratory summit Snickers you just earned. This 5,344-foot peak affords unending views of the snowy Cascades to the east, and the Puget Sound to the west. On a clear day, you may see all the way to Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier!

Navigate big and fun rapids on the Wenatchee through Leavenworth, stopping only to jump in swimming holes and start splash wars. The waves are dramatic, but they’re also accessible to students of all capabilities!
