Sasquad hikes are selected for their uniqueness, solitude, and honoring local folklore. If you are looking for the most popular hikes, there are plenty of other websites that can help with that. We are looking for the trails less traveled. If you have ideas about hikes that should be on the page, let us know! If your hike is featured, we will send you free merch.
Cleetwood Cove Trail, Crater Lake National Park
Description
______________
Okay, this one might be a little more crowded than our typical recommendation. BUT, we chose this 2-mile, moderate hike because this is the only trail that allows you to enter into the crater and go for a swim. Who wouldn’t want to go swimming in the center of a dormant volcano? Read more.
The Green Lakes Trail, Deschutes National Forest
Description
______________
This 9-mile, out-and-back, trail is easy to moderate and worth the distance! Hikers will walk through meadows and enter into a valley surrounded by mountains. The hike is near water most of the way and ends at a gorgeous lake. Thanks to the distance, there are few crowds on the trail. Read more.

Description
______________
This 4-mile, moderate loop takes hikers through dense forest, over bridges, through tree tunnels, and empties out into the beach. Go in the early morning to avoid crowds. Read more.
Silver Falls State Park, Oregon
Description
______________
This hike is a loop through an impressive forest, which boasts beautiful pools of green and blue water, and at least 10 waterfalls. Many of the waterfalls are over 100 ft in height. Hikers can even pass behind some waterfalls, giving this hike an enchanted feeling. This is a very crowded trail on a typical day. Hikers who want to have a more serene experience should go in the early morning in the evening on a weekday. Read more.
