One of Tom's favorite hikes in Washington is Galena Chain Lakes loop trail, with peak fall colors about early October, in Mount Baker – Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington, USA. Although we were a bit late for the peak autumn leaf colors on October 19 in 2021, the hike was still gorgeous. Galena Chain Lakes loop is 7.3 miles with 1800 feet gain and loss, starting from Bagley Lakes Trailhead (Ski Area parking lot), best done counterclockwise for mountain photography. (When the road to Artist Point is open from July until the first snow in late September or early October, the circuit can be shortened to 6 miles starting from Heather Meadows Visitor Center.)
