If you're new to the great outdoors or are just looking for an easy way to get out of the city, this list will be your new cup of tea. While there are many worthwhile beginner hikes all over Washington, you will find that the trails listed here are a quick drive from campus, leaving you no excuse to stay indoors; avoiding venturing too deep into our surrounding mountains also helps avoid dramatic spikes in elevation from trailhead to destination, ideal for beginners. Each image is a link to its corresponding Washington Trails Association page as this is where we gathered much of our information and each page has other helpful tips.
