I found this trail by searching for Winthrop area trails in Alltrails. I'd never heard of it before. It is situated on Washington State Fish and Wildlife property in mostly open grassland. It turned out to be a gem.

Moccasin Lake
For me, the open grassland was the highlight of this hike.

Camas Ridge - October 11, 2025
Fall color was the highlight of this hike. I wanted to get up here to see if the Labor fire had reached this area that we enjoy recreating in. Thankfully it was spared.
The Aspen trees were a glorious gold.
Smoke from the remnants of the Labor fire could be seen in the distance.
Looking north into the Entiat Mountains we could see no evidence of the Sugarloaf fire.
Turtleback Mountain -- October 7, 2025
It was wonderful to do this scenic hike again. We had wonderful weather and the calm waters in West Sound made nice reflections. The ferry ride getting there and back is part of the charm.
We enjoyed a glorious sunrise waiting for the ferry at Ship Harbor
Kay is all smiles on this beautiful morning.

Lake Valhalla - September 1, 2025
It was great to get back to what used to be an old standby, but one I hadn't done in 24 years. It was great to do it with Kay and the Flanagan's making it a wonderful holiday event. Emily was hoping to swim in an alpine lake over the weekend, and her objective was achieved.
