The Naches Peak Loop Trail is a good option for a quick hike that leaves from the scenic Tipsoo Lake. The trail is just 3.2 miles round trip with minimal climbing, but provides gorgeous scenery, wildflowers, and even a beautiful viewpoint of Dewey Lake. Though the hike is just a few short miles, you’ll likely find yourself stopping often to take photos or just take in the scenery.
