How the Alpine Lakes Wilderness was born (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Seattle-area hikers heading out for a crisp fall jaunt have had to cross Snow Lake and Talapus Lake off the list for a few weeks because those much-loved trails are getting some much-needed love. Crews were scheduled to be blasting rocks to improve switchbacks on the way up to the Snow Lake divide through Friday and will be adding more space at the Talapus Lake trailhead through Oct. 31. In Snow Lake’s case, the trail work comes just four years after a complete rebuild of one of the region’s mos
WA Enchantments snowstorm death: What we know about victim and more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SEATTLE – A September snowstorm blanketed the highest elevations of the Cascades over the weekend, creating treacherous conditions for summer hikers that resulted in the death of 45-year-old Oklahoma resident Sybil Claborn and left her husband with severe hypothermia while the couple were hiking in the Enchantments. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office issued a news release Wednesday outlining the emergency response, which entailed two aborted helicopter flights, two successful flights, and a midd
At 50, Center for Wooden Boats is a Lake Union treasure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Humans have been building wooden boats for at least 5,000 years. But over a half-century ago, that ancient craft nearly went extinct, at least in North America. The advent of fiberglass in the 1950s led to a surge of affordable, mass-produced boats. A postwar fascination with scientific innovation – from Boeing’s supersonic aspirations to Seattle’s futuristic World’s Fair – craved technical advances. So, wooden boatbuilding, once a mainstay of Lake Union’s maritime industry, began to fade away,
Stevens Pass Bike Park’s newest trail makes for great late-summer fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
STEVENS PASS – Washington’s hardest-to-pronounce mountain biking trail might also be its most fun. In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (YOR-mun-gahn-dr) was a serpentlike sea monster born to the trickster god Loki and archenemy of thunder god Thor. The namesake of the newest trail at the Stevens Pass Bike Park suggests it’s not one to take lightly, but seasoned downhill mountain bikers should definitely consider charming this snake and ride what feels like the dirt equivalent of a banked slalom cour
Palouse to Cascades Trail bypass opens in Western WA after flood damage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PALOUSE TO CASCADES TRAIL, 5 MILES EAST OF RATTLESNAKE LAKE – Like a scene out of “Train Dreams,” railroad workers toiled on the steep slopes of the Cascades foothills in the 1910s to carve a path for the iron horse out of an unforgiving landscape. They cut down trees, laid brick, piled up gravel and forged a flat ribbon along a rugged hillside so steam engines could ply the route between Chicago and Puget Sound via Snoqualmie Pass. Those legions of laborers could perhaps have scarcely imagined
