Hiking
Like all the nearby mountains, Mount Washington is an old volcano that emerged when the oceanic Juan de Fuca tectonic plate slid under the continental North American tectonic plate. The mountain is deeply eroded, making its sharp pinnacle unique in the landscape. A hiking trail is leading almost to the summit. If you want to get to the true summit, bring ropes to be on the safe side. You will be amazed by magnificient views towards the Three Sisters, Mount Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack and the wast landscape that is mostly buried under lava flow.
