| | My husband and I, along with my sister and her boyfriend all hiked Funk Mountain Trail in June this year (2009). The trail mentioned here is mostly a cattle grazing area now, but you can hike up the old road to the Lookout, about 1.5 miles. Once there, the view is truly great. Be careful at the Lookout. I don't know how safe it is so use plenty of caution. The hike was fun; we met some friendly ATV'ers on the way up. There was an abundance of butterflies, and hot, yellow sunshine streaming down. This is an excellent hike for beginners, or those with |
bad knees or new shoes. The vistas are very pleasant, and there are no crowds.
The nearby town of Conconully is another high point for this trip. It's very small and has a contented, peaceful ambience. Conconully Lake doesn't have a great swim beach, but it's enjoyable
| for a canoe or kayak paddle on a warm day. Says Carol Rh
There are plenty of great outdoors hiking trails in Washington; each one of them has something unique to offer. Backcountry backpacking here in Washington is a brilliant way to spend some time. Many miles from the most adjacent city you have Funk Mountain Trail, and it is a fine hideaway from the city. There are great outdoors hiking trails all over Washington; one of these is Funk Mountain Trail in Okanogan County. This is a long hiking trail, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. And | |
