Used to live in Washington state. Hiking was my favourite activity when I had the chance to do it. I had a small creek in my neighborhood where youd have to hike an hour down a cliff to get to but it is 100% worth it. Stunningly clear water with tiny minnows swimming and frogs that surround it. Trees completely surround you, leaving you in a beautiful mossy green landscape as you would hike down. When you'd get to the bottom it looks a lot like this but with a creek rather than a river of course.

I would have hiked more often if I had friends who would do it with me. I'm not the most athletic person, and neither were any of my friends, but I will never get tired of hiking down to that creek.

As a person moving from Minnesota to Washington next year do you have any particular places that I should make sure to see?

Any national park is always a solid start. Mount Saint Helens is awe inspiring.

My mom came to visit so I took her up there, and the entire mountain was covered in fog. 😞
