Join us on an early spring hike to Talapus and Olallie Lake during the first warm and sunny spring day of 2025. The forest was alive with the sound of rushing water as creeks swelled with a torrent of ever-increasing snowmelt. The trail, still clinging to winter’s last gasp, was covered in deep snow as you approached the Talapus Creek bridge.

While higher peaks may still harbor significant avalanche danger this time of year, this hike is one of several that serve as a safe and solid alternative. Here, you can enjoy a glimpse of what makes hiking in the Pacific Northwest so special.
