Type of Hike
Day hike
Swauk Discovery Trail is a wonderful 2 mile loop on Blewett Pass. The trail is mostly flat and is a nice educational and scenic walk through a variety of habitats – thick north facing forest and open hot south facing forests with a variety of trees etc. In the early summer it is a wildflower smorgasbord. I think this trail is hiked a lot for ecological studies with Central Washington University. If you want a break on the drive from Seattle to Wenatchee, check it out. My dogs especially liked this outing thanks to the very recent elk tracks leading the way. Trail is in good shape and you could hike it in flip flops if you wanted.
Turn south off highway 97 at Blewett Pass and drive up about ¼ mile to a large parking area. NW Forest Pass is needed.
