Index, Washington

If you are looking for a weekend getaway in the PNW this summer, Index, Washington is calling your name. Only a 1-hour drive from Seattle, Washington and you are immediately submerged into the beauty of everything the PNW has to offer. 

We spent our first day hiking up to Lake Serene which was an 8 mile out and back hike in Gold Bar, Washington. The views were stunning, and the water was freezing but the jump in was 100% worth it.

We checked into a Yurt Airbnb in Baring, Washington and went to Pie Dive Bar for dinner. We ordered the brisket mac n cheese pie and two amazing cocktails. After we ate, we played a couple games of pool and then cornhole outside. If you like espresso martinis you have to try this one!

The next morning, we went to Espresso Chalet which is known for the stunning views of Mt. Index in the back. 

We checked into a tiny home Airbnb in Gold Bar, Washington right next to the Lake Serene Trailhead. With these stunning views from inside.

We had lunch at Zekes, and we spent the day at the river, soaking in the sun and jumping into the freezing cold river (even colder than the lake). 

We had dinner at Bobs Roadhouse and ordered burgers that were bigger than my head. We went back and soaked in the cedar hot tub and watched a movie on the projector.

The next morning, we woke up and walked to the river one last time before packing up and heading home.

We had the best weekend enjoying the beautiful outdoors and we can't wait for our next adventure!
