Daniel Shin
The smell of the fresh outdoors is always an aroma that many people will enjoy. Washington state has that aroma and it draws visitors again and again not only because the smell, but because of the thriving natural scenes, mountains, and its agricultural base. Of all the many places and cities to explore this state's mountains are extraordinary. Here are the lists of mountains that one should definitely go and see:

Black Peak

This mountain sits nearly 9,000 feet and its distinctive black pyramid towers above the North Cascades Highway. For tourists how love rock climbing, this mountain offers long, interesting, and wide routes in an unbelievable setting.

Blanchard Mountain

During the season changing, tourists can play in the snow or bask in the beauty of the wildflowers. Mountain biking and horse rides and pack trips provide summer adventure.

Mount Adams

It isn't very high and isn't one of the most publicities mountain but it is a high magnet for those craving a wilderness escape. The second tallest peak in the state is laced with hiking trails and surrounded by fishing holes.

Mount Si

North Bend, WA

Noted as one of the most-climbed peak in the United States, Mount Si offers a great conditioning hike to the summit and spectacular vistas of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. At four miles each way, it is really a day trip.

Mount St. Helens

Mount St. Helens Area, WA

This dry and bewildered mountain resembles a ruin and remains unpredictable, making each trip not great, but a new experience.

Sun Mountain

Winthrop, WA

A wealth of natural beauty and outdoor activities, this mountain overlooks the breathtaking Methow Valley. Horseback riding, mountain biking, and fly-fishing are done in the summer and skiing, ice skating, and sledding is done in the winter.

Mount Walker

Mount Rainier

Paradise Inn, WA

Is one of the largest mountains and dominates the Cascade Range and surrounding landscape for 100 miles around, and contains a wide diversity of wildlife habitats from sub alpine meadows to streamside corridors and low elevation old growth trees. Everything is found on or around this mountain: glaciers, trails, flowers, and wildlife. Its four-season adventure attracts many and is one of America's most popular national parks.

Glacier Peak
Darrington, WA

Known as the state's most technical climb, his Cascade volcano isn't easy to reach and that is exactly why backcountry hikers and climbers are drawn to this two-mile high peak. It's just off the Pacific Crest Trail in eastern Snohomish Country.

Although mountains can be fun but at the same time dangerous, there is no limit on what adventures tourist can have. Everything is right where it's supposed to be in the state, and it is a lovely one.
