Sightseeing
Mt Pugh (pronounced Pew) is very strenuous and requires some technical, class 4 scrambling moves to reach the top. However, the trail itself is high quality and the views are stellar. Along the way is Lake Metan, a worthy hiking destination in and of itself.

The place to go in Darrington for coffee. Also serve ice cream and beer. Food selection is good too. It would be my choice for breakfast or a place to find a salad.
