Week ago we hiked on Pilchuck Peak. It is only 1.5 hour drive, 10 kilometers both way and 700 meter elevation gain. So, it is perfect if you have only half of day.
Most of the time trail leads you among open granites with some spruces.
Pilchuck Peak is in the center oh photo.
It is a little cabin on the top (former fire cabin).
Very panoramic view from the top.
