Top Spots in or near Randle
Goat Lake-Jordan Basin Loop
Randle, Washington
5.0
12.58 mi
/ 2703 ft gain
This is one of my favorite hikes for Washington State. Aside from the massive volcanoes hanging out down here, the southern region of the cascades is much more tame compared to areas further north. As I mentioned in my Old Snowy report, a jaw dropping side trip from the loop trail, the Goat Rocks themselves are the remains from an ancient volcano that towered thousands of feet above where they ...

The hike begins just outside of Packwood, Wa at the Berry Patch Trailhead Trail #96, sitting pretty at about 4200ft. The Goat Lake/Jordan Basin loop trail starts here, leading to Old Snowy. The magical Goat Rocks Wilderness area is just southeast of Mt. Rainier. It also lies right in the crosshairs of the scenic Pacific Crest Trail. You have a decision to make before you even hit the trailhead;...
Hike to Elk Pass via "the Knife"
Randle, Washington
18.2 mi
/ 4000 ft gain
This is a rather long out and back, however, it can also be done as a backpack, which would give you more time to explore the Goat Rocks Wilderness, which is highlighted in other Adventures. For your trip to Elk Pass, begin your trek in the Snowgrass Flats parking lot. A Northwest Forest Pass is required. A short spur trail takes you west towards Trail #96 to Snowgrass flats. Two miles in woods...
Hike to Packwood Lake
Randle, Washington
9.2 mi
/ 1535 ft gain
This is a relatively tame hike through the beautiful Gifford Pinchot National Forest, winding to the Goat Rocks Wilderness. With only 600 feet of elevation gain over 4.6 miles in, I would recommend it for hiking or trail running. Keep in mind this trail is open to horses and other stock so you may come across large animals (and their poo), so keep an eye out on the trail.
You will wind through...

From there...
