Off of Highway 2 in the Sultan Basin is a great snowfree hike. Thanks to Alan Bauer for the photos. The hike starts on an old road and once on the trail you will hike to 3 lakes.

Driving Directions:
US 2 east to from Everett to Sultan. Turn left
onto Sultan Basin Road just after milepost 23. And follow it for a little over
13 miles, the last 3 of which are unpaved but in great condition. At that
point, stop off at a kiosk to sign in and acknowledge that you will follow the
rules of hiking in the area. Make sure you stop here, as you could be cited and
fined if you don’t register. After the kiosk, continue following the road,
keeping right at the Y onto forest road 61. Another 5 miles on a
well-maintained gravel road will take you to the trailhead.
Trail stats: Close to 11 miles roundtrip and about 2000' gain. Here is the track
