"Mount Pilchuck Trailhead, NF-4200, Granite Falls With its proximity to Seattle and short (but still challenging) trek, Mount Pilchuck is a popular fire lookout hike for good reason. The 5.4-mile round-trip hike travels through old-growth forest before reaching a boulder field that eventually leads to a fun scramble to the fire tower. The easy access means that you’ll likely have plenty of company, and at just over an hour’s drive from Seattle, it’s a doable after-work summer hike. The fire tower is first come, first served, but given its popularity, staying a night is not an easy ticket! "
