  1. Rattlesnake Ledge Trail

  6. Mount Si Trail
  7. Mount Storm King
  8. Twin Falls Trail
  9. Wallace Falls via Woody Trail
  10. Bridal Veil Falls and Lunch Rock via Lake Serene Trail

Rattlesnake Ledge as number one is no surprise. The trail is close to Seattle as it’s located in North Bend, it’s an 8.5-km out-and-back trail and is considered moderately challenging according to AllTrails. It’s also even dog friendly although your dog must be kept on a leash.

The rest of the trails in the top ten are considered moderate to hard. So it looks like it’s time to get out there and challenge yourself this fall. If you’d like to see all of Washington’s recorded trails ranked you can do so at AllTrails.
