I sincerely suggest you go to these niche attractions before leaving Seattle

❶ The Magical Forest Hoh Rain Forest

Located in the Olympic National Park, it is a place full of mystery. It's like something out of a fairy tale! The dense green forest is rich in diverse flora and fauna. Walking among the old moss-covered trees and listening to the murmuring of a winding stream is like stepping into a strange world full of magic.

The trees in Hoh Rain Forest are furry, cute and spooky. Entering the park feels like a dream. Wear bright colors for photos. It should be more beautiful in summer when there are lots of plants. Remember to go down before dark, the mountain is still difficult to drive.


Knowing in advance that it would take a long queue to enter Hoh Rain Forest, we got up very early, but the hotel's breakfast was very slow, so we arrived at the entrance of the queue at 10 o 'clock, when there were already many cars, we queued for nearly two hours, so if you want to go, you must arrange the time in advance! Friendly tips must be in the queue before the good bathroom, because there is only one simple toilet along the way, the degree of hygiene is worrying, will let people have psychological shadow, the next toilet is in the visitor center.

Apart from the long queue, everything after entering the garden is still very happy! It was still raining heavily when I queued up, and the rain stopped just after I parked the car! We chose two of The most popular trails in The park: The Hall of Mosses(0.8miles) and The Spruce Nature Trail(1.2miles), each of which was amazing! All kinds of tall trees covered with moss, literally poke the moss nest! There are also various animals and mushrooms in the rainforest, I don't know if you can see the little man after eating the mushrooms. Spruce Trail can walk to the side of Hoh river and then there will be many streams along the way, which is the highlight of this!

❷Rialto Beach, Iceland's equivalent black beach
Rialto Beach has a feeling of Iceland, black sand on the dead wood and black stones, giving people a mysterious and peaceful feeling. It's also one of the locations for Twilight, so it's very atmospheric. Sitting on the beach in the evening, watching the beautiful sunset over the sea, with the occasional bird flying over, is perfect for people who like a quiet atmosphere!

Visible shock!! Before entering the beach area, it has been a big sun, but the beach is cloudy with fog, black stone and dead wood, the sea is rough, the coastline is long, and it feels like the next second the werewolf will rush out of the forest... It's so twilight! I ended up clocking Bella's truck in Forks, but the museum was closed by the time I got there.



❸Franklin Falls
Just like walking into the ice and snow, the whole waterfall is covered with snow and ice, just looking at those crystal clear ice crystals has been shocked! Remember to wear non-slip shoes to keep warm (take pictures safely, do not go near the edge of the waterfall, there is a possibility of avalanche)
Franklin Falls Trail. I heard the ice falls didn't freeze, but I decided to have a look.

Parked in the Snoqualmie Snow Park parking lot, the route to the ice Falls is a bit wild, half the time walking on the road with thick snow. For the first time on the snow, with crampons but no snow shoes, I have to say that the snow is much harder to walk than the dry road, along the front of the solid footprints or from time to time into the snow pit.

At last we reached the trail and saw the stream and the red house in the forest. The end point is an ice waterfall that is not frozen. Friends say that a few months ago there was ice around the waterfall, but now there is only snow.

❹Fairy Cornfield Steptoe Butte
Seriously, this is like a Windows desktop! Located in the Palouse area east of Seattle, National Geographic named "50 Places to visit in a lifetime in the United States", the wheat fields around the wind swaying, like a colorful oil painting, every Angle is a beautiful landscape, take a super film!

Agriculture is very developed near Palouse, with a large number of wheat fields. Steptoe Butte State Park is the commanding point of the nearby wheat fields. After driving to the top of the spiral mountain road, you can overlook the endless wheat fields around.

Color of wheat fields:
Late May and early June: The best time for personal feeling, the whole earth is covered with colorful green wheat fields, and a little wheat fields have begun to turn yellow
July: The wheat fields begin to turn yellow, and the golden wheat fields have a different style

August - September: The wheat fields turn yellow and some areas have been cut away

❺The Snows of Snoqualmie Falls
It is one of the most famous waterfalls around Seattle, reaching a height of 268 feet, and the sight of the flowing down is simply shocking beyond words! Whether it's a waterfall illuminated by the sun during the day or a golden glow at dusk, it's super photo-friendly. The nature trail here is also very suitable for hiking oh, remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes to feel the magic of nature!

Snoqualmie Falls is very easy to visit, and the scenic area includes UPPER PARK and LOWER PARK and a trail connecting the Upper and Lower parks.

The scenic spot is on the side of 202 road, the parking lot is not far from the observation deck of UPPER PARK, and it takes ten minutes to walk to it, but this short journey seems to accompany you with thousands of troops and horses, and it is a waterfall roaring! In a canyon, 154 meters of drop straight down, like a pure natural high-power speaker! Here is a top-down view of the waterfall, you can see the bottom of the pool rolling waves and whirlpools. Then follow the forest trail to LOWER PARK for a bottom-up view of the falls along the Snoqualmie River.

This path is not long, but the trees along the way, like walking in the primitive forest, very quiet and comfortable.

Waterfall drop 154 meters, no problem of pure natural hydropower station, to lower fall will pass through the power station park, substation is on the other side of the river.


Here to see the waterfall seems to come from the sky, feeling very wonderful, high above the rainbow, but to the ground but so gentle into the river.
The river smelled so good that I sat on the rocks for a while. Not far away were two men and two dogs, enjoying a snack at the music. Of course, I also have a nice snack on the rock - a bag of handmade chocolates from Mercer Island, otherwise it would be a bit of a miss to face the scenery without a treat.

❻The elves of the stump Keechelus Lake
🪵 An hour's drive from downtown Seattle, locate Keechelus Lake Boat Launch to get to this fantastic place where the tree stumps are truly works of art. Each one is unique, especially the tree spirit with the "hair". The scenery here changes with the weather, different weather and different times of the day.
Originally wanted to go to pgp with friends to drive kart, who knew that after finding FullyBooked, so turn the car to find the explosive head tree stake. Keechelus Lake is just off snoqualmie pasa, and when the water is low at the moment, you can drive straight up the river bed and look for your friend with hair among the bald trees.

❼Diablo Lake Vista Point, Big Pineapple Lake
The lake, located in North Cascades National Park, has crystal-clear water of Tiffany blue. Surrounded by majestic mountains, it is well worth the trip, whether it is a hiking adventure or a quiet view! The lake here will show different colors in different light, and you can encounter different scenery every time you come!
