A goal we have is to visit each of the Named Mountain Ranges in Washington State and experience the uniqueness that each has to offer. The state is large, has a diverse geography and ecology, and tons of public lands allowing for relatively easy access.
We predominately will visit these ranges during Overlanding trips in the coming years. However, some of these ranges can only be accessed via hikes along Wilderness trails, so it may be a while before we can check all these off the “visited” list.
