Mailbox Peak Trail Is A Challenging Hike In Washington That Will Make Your Stomach Drop
Washington’s hiking trails are second to none, and going for a gorgeous hike is a great way to remind yourself that you’re lucky to call the Evergreen State home. Of course, some trails are more treacherous than others, and if you’re a beginner, you should spend some time on some of our easier hikes before you attempt to scale a mountain. But when you’re ready for a real challenge, we highly recommend heading straight to Mailbox Peak. This legendary spot is a true bucket list hike.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

The mountain goals just make it look easy.
This is definitely one of the most visually stunning parts of the state, with remarkable views.
The original route involved 4,000 feet of climbing in less than three miles, which is just as awful as it sounds.
Rest assured, though, that this is still no easy trek. The trail has been called lengthy and unforgiving, and only truly experienced hikers should attempt it.
The views really do make it all worth it.
You'll notice signatures, stickers, and other decor. Inside you'll find letters, poetry, and possibly even snacks. You may be tempted to leave something behind yourself.
However, it's one of Washington's most iconic hikes for a reason. It really is incredible.
