Hello all – last weekend I did the Green River (Vanson lake / Deadman’s lake) on white pass near packwood. It was a great 20 mile loop with great views of Rainer and St. Helens. The fishing was not so great with super shallow water 50 yards into the lake, but the solitude and scenery made for a great trip. This loop was rated as moderate and I found that a pretty good description. Apparently there is pretty good fishing in Deep lake just off the trail, but I must have walked right passed it so I missed fishing that lake. I am planning another 3 day hike in early september and would love any suggestions. I would love some fishing, some solitude, and a moderate hike. thanks everyone.

I was up and Deep and Deadmans a couple weeks ago. Deep is surrounded by overhanging brush so it isn’t easy to fish, either. It is about 400 vertical feet below the trail so it isn’t really just off it. A boat is a huge help on Deadmans.
As far as suggestions go, oh man. There are tons of great places. Solitude can be difficult on weekends no matter where you go if you are strictly sticking to trails. But most places have plenty of room to get away. The Necklace Valley makes a great three day trip. Or head up past Trout and Copper Lakes and explore all the lakes beyond. Or head over to the east side and explore all the lakes above Waptus. If you want to put on some trail miles explore the Klonaqua Lakes. You can either go up the Icicle or over Paddy Go Easy Pass. You definitely won’t be alone, but Tuck and Robin are beautiful and you can explore the nearby ridges. Marmot and Clarice would make a nice trip. There are lots of nice possibilities in the Pasayten Wilderness if you want to go north.
There just isn’t enough time to do them all!
