Olallie State Park - The mailbox peak

Olallie State Park

This is a review for the Mailbox Peak trail. The checking in process for both Yelp and AllTrails…read morewas a bit off in the area. Olallie SP is just across the I-90 from the peak trails. Also if you use the AllTrails GPS to get to the trail, do not use the GPS for the loop of the old and new trail, as it will take you back into a large acreage subdivision, that closer to the Mt. Terefie Waterfall trails. This is one of many trails, one of my coworkers recommended shortly after I arrived in the area, last fall. He was right about making sure you're in good shape before attempting this one, part of the reason I waited till this spring to do it, plus it started snowing in the higher elevations, before I felt ready to try it last fall. This is rated hard on AllTrails, and it is. Well worth it, some amazing views on the way up, lots of zag zagging throughout, lots of beautiful woods and wildflowers on the new trail heading up, once the old and new trail combine about 1 1/2 miles from the top it get hella steep, with one part being using a trail over flattened rocks, plenty of signage throughout to keep you on track, at least on the new trail, and this part of the old trail. This is a serious hike of over 8 miles, so be prepared. I highly recommend a full camelback full of water and snacks, great ideas for snacks are beef jerky, nuts and fruit, all of which help with protein, sugars, and electrolytes to keep your body nourished and hydrated, keeping your energy levels up. It was quite enjoyable was you get past the very steep hike as you get close to the peak. Also highly recommend hiking poles, especially for the trek down the very very steep old trail. At the peak there is a mailbox with a very full box and lots of stickers, as well as signage about the history, plenty of areas around it to take a break, have a meal, and enjoy the views of the Cascades, I-90, and area lakes, being over 4000' elevation, it was cool to watch the passing clouds enshroud the peaks surrounding Mailbox peak. Quite an experience. After experiencing the old/new trail loop, I would highly recommend just sticking with the new trail both ways. Why? Well the old trail isn't as well marked, making difficult to navigate, as well as being steep as hell, with very little if any zigzagging to help with the descent. It was worth doing once, but unless you're a masochist or working on extreme workout, it's not enjoyable. Plus since it's mainly a hemlock forest on that part, there's not a lot of understory foliage or wildlife or flowers. It's not maintained like the new trail, so many people have made their own trails, making it hard to tell if you're on the right track or not. Just my advice, but enjoy the hard enough hike on the new trail. There are a few parking options with good signage for directions. This is a popular hike, so best to go early on weekends. It wasn't difficult on a mid day mid week hike. I look forward to doing it again this summer/fall, but sticking to the new trail. Happy hiking and Yelping! God bless and Cheers!

Gorgeous location for a hike! Check out the Twin Falls hike to see a rather large waterfall. Took…read moreus around 3 miles to complete.

One of the perks of living in the neighborhood is the Beaver Lake Dog Park…read more It is fully fenced and has large-dog and small-dog separate areas. The large dog park is thickly covered in wood chips in the open areas, and the back 1/3 side is heavily shaded by trees and easily walkable for those hot full sun days and for good 'texture'. If you have one of those ball throw tools, you're not going to run out of distance with your best throw. The small dog side is slightly smaller and features a gravel/dirt and grass field. There are some passages into a small stand of trees/bushes. Doggie water fountains and pooper scooper bags available in each section. There are well established wooded trails to either side which lead to the lakefront section of the park: about a half mile round trip. The people are friendly and dog conflicts rare. (Personal hint: if you have a troublesome dog, put a muzzle on them before taking them out in public or to any park: the dog really won't mind. You can always remove it). On-site parking is good except for the rare little league tournaments, as the 3 ballfields and well-appointed playground share the park/parking. There's even street overflow parking. (I saw one review of a water-borne illness: that review is over 10 years old and there's no regular standing water in the dog park for years)

Way too small for my two dogs. I thought we could get to the lake- not. Not crowded, but you need…read moreto walk a bit to get there from parking lot. I have dogs who love to run and explore wooded areas and water. Disappointed

Went tubing here with Chooksty and her mans, James. Just a really good time, despite the…read moresurprisingly overpriced tubing experience at $60(?) per person for tubing rental and shuttle ride to starting point. 2.5 to 3-hour ride bc the paddle for the tube is a literal blue frisbee that is linked to it lolol ...anyway, focusing on just location, the fallen tree hard is a perfect rest stop with guests trying to cross it without falling. Highly recommend water shoes for this. Quite a bit of shore rest stops that people been using as a bio break bc no actual bathroom nearby. Quite a bit of rapid waters sections, so beware because hella rocks in those areas that you may hit. Very nice and cool waters to contrast this sunny weather that only got warmer as the June 2026 day progressed.

Picked this hike from the Washington Trails book, about 9.5 miles roundtrip with a 2700 elevation…read moregain. This was a tough hike, even though I chose it since the book said "moderate" and even looking up some reviews people had said the hike as relatively simple to enjoy a fantastic lake view. We were both pretty dead at the end due to the length and steep inclines. Knees were pretty banged up because of all the rocks. The trail in the beginning wasn't so bad, definitely got my heart pumping because of the elevation, but as you go higher up there were a lot of switchbacks and seemingly no end in sight. We hustled up the mountain pretty quickly though, which was why we were so tired at the end. The view is definitely worth it in the end; recommend bringing a hammock! There's also plenty of sitting area through slabs of rocks. Coming down we encountered: 1) a girl who was crying we believe because of the toughness of the trail, 2) a couple who stopped us to ask how much longer it was to the top (they unfortunately weren't even halfway) which signifies how tough this hike was. Definitely recommend bringing more than enough water or you will definitely be dehydrated (like we were). Otherwise glad we did this and would recommend (you won't regret it but your body will hate you haha).
