Outside of his work as a chef, Chad Clift loves going on hikes. He finds that hiking is one of his favorite ways to stay active and also enjoy his beautiful surroundings. Since he lives in Seattle, he is very close to many wonderful places to hike. When he has some free time, he loves to drive to nearby trails and mountains and spend some time outdoors. Here are some of Clift’s favorite places to hike in the area.
Washington State is known for having many great waterfall hikes. Clift particularly enjoys driving to Franklin Falls, which is just an hour’s drive from the city. It is an easy hike that anyone can do, and Clift recommends taking friends or family and making it a fun outing. For a more difficult hike, he recommends driving to Crystal Lake, which is located near Mount Rainier and has great scenery. There are also beautiful wildflowers and even mountain goats and elk, making it a good hike for those who want to enjoy beautiful scenery.
Chad Clift also occasionally travels to Oregon or Eastern Washington to hike as well. When he is in Spokane, he enjoys going to Deep Creek Canyon, which is a fun place to hike and rock climb, and has several different trails to choose from. In Oregon, his favorite spot is the Columbia River Gorge, which has beautiful waterfalls and canyons to explore, as well as wineries and breweries nearby. Chad Clift is very passionate about exploring the natural beauty around him.
