- Venture out to the Olympic Peninsula for a family-friendly hike.
- Explore Washington’s incredible national parks and take in the gorgeous fall colors. (Bonus: If you have a fourth grader, you can get a free national parks pass that benefits the whole family.)
- Marvel at all the colorful, crunchy leaves on fall family hikes around Seattle.
- For a fishy adventure, head out to spot the spawning salmon in creeks and rivers around our region.
- Hikes along the Middle Fork offer big views with a not-too-big drive to reach them.
- An abandoned bus and giant boulders are some of the nifty things you can spot on mostly tot-friendly hikes in the Issaquah Alps.
- For a hike a bit farther out, head to the Kitsap Peninsula for one of these short, kid-friendly options.
