This shortened version of this classic loop hike ascends the steep forested shoulders of Snider Ridge to reach wildflower-filled meadows along the ridgeline. While the wooded summit of Mount Muller skimps on views, trailside vistas showcase the surrounding landscape. On clear days find the greens of the Sol Duc Valley below with Mount Olympus and Mount Baker rising above and the waters of Lake Crescent and the Strait of Juan de Fuca sparkling in the distance.There's a lot more to Mount Muller, and you can learn all about it in Washington Wildflower Hikes: 50 Destinations.
