Spring Hiking Advice from a Dark Lord

It's not easy being a Dark Lord of the Sith.

You wake up every day tormented and angry, and that's after your morning coffee. So how do you break out of the stereotype that every Dark Lord has to be a super villain? You go hiking, of course.

Darth Thaddeus has been writing trip reports for more than a year, letting other hikers know about trail conditions and where to find spring blooms. We rounded up three of the Dark Lord's trip reports from the past year for some spring hiking inspiration. Follow in their footsteps and embrace your inner-Sith on these hikes. 

Camas Meadows

Darth Thaddeus says "if you are looking for a short and beautiful spring hike with scenic views and potential for plentiful wildflowers Camas Meadows is a great choice." Get more info in our Hiking Guide.

Lenore Lake Caves

Though this hike focuses more on the geology of the area than wildflowers, it still makes a great spring destination. Thaddeus says it would make an ideal hike for kids. Check out info on the trail in our Hiking Guide.

Lake Chelan State Park - Little Bear Trail

After a day of brooding, nothing takes the edge off like a hike with wildflowers and a lake view. Thaddeus visited this trail last June and enjoyed hiking both loops to add a bit more mileage. Get more info in our Hiking Guide.
