    Pacific NW

    Relatively new to the Seattle area. What are the some of the best spots to do a overnight camping trip.

    Olympics and Rainier have good options.

    Anywhere with a view where you have two trees about 15' apart. You have the ocean or the mountains...or both and as a plus you also have semi-arid desert on the dry side too!

    If you're looking for a place to park and throw up a hammock, then anywhere you can pull over and find 2 tree's will work. I'm partial to the Mt. Rainier and Greenwater area off of 410.

    If you're looking for a place to backpack into and see the beauty that the PNW has to offer, check out WTA.org. Use their hike finder map and customize a trip you might want to take that's within your skill level.

    Its worth a trip over to Shi Shi Beach in the Olympics. Take a stroll up the Hoh River, lots of trees. Honestly, you have TOO many options. Rainier is awesome, check out the campground at Paradise.

    Here's a link to a site I use when I'm looking for a hike I've never been on. Mostly Oregon hikes but a few washington ones as well. http://www.oregonhikers.org/tools/hi...ike_finder.php

    Bring big tree straps if you go to the Hoh (highly recommended) or other old growth areas. We have big trees up in the PNW

    We prefer spots near water. So far we've done a couple different backcountry campgrounds in the Tillamook forest and near the Nehalem river. Like others have said Or/Wa hiker websites are a good resource. Also recommend checking out BLM land. http://www.blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/search
    Bring big tree straps and maybe a separate bag to store them in. Last trip to the coast left ours sticky with sap
    Good luck finding a choice spot and happy hanging!
