Mount Pilchuck Fire Lookout

5.4 miles roundtrip

At a glance: Considered an intermediate hike, Mount Pilchuck is a popular fire lookout located outside the Seattle metro area in the Cascade Mountains. This hike, while challenging, offers panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains, Mount Baker, Mount Rainier and Puget Sound. In short, the views don’t get any better.

What's included: Transport from hotel/home/airbnb, professional guide, entrance fees to Mount Pilchuck State Park, 5.4 mile hike, lunch, snacks, backpack and trekking poles if needed.

$229/person plus 6% online booking fee ($243 total)

We keep our group size small (no more than five plus guide) so you can hike at your own pace and enjoy 1:1 time with our knowledgeable guides.

An adventurous hike with incredible vistas. We'll meet in Seattle and then head towards the Cascade mountains where we'll climb above the clouds for epic views. The trail is moderate with rocks and roots and climbs 2,300’ in a relatively short period. We'll have lunch at the lookout.
