🌲 VESPER PEAK HIKE — Pacific Northwest Adventure! 🏔️
Just 1.5 hours east of Seattle sits one of the most iconic alpine climbs in Washington: Vesper Peak. In this video, I take you along for the full journey—6.8 miles round trip with nearly 4,000 feet of vertical gain—into rugged granite basins, crystal-clear tarns, and a panoramic summit that’s absolutely worth every step.
From the lush forest approach to the steep final push, this hike delivers everything the Pacific Northwest is known for: dramatic scenery, wild terrain, and mountain views that leave you speechless.
