Pack your Danners and head to the mountains — the Pacific Northwest is full of pristine, turquoise lakes and lush hiking trails. This hipster-neat region is also packed with hops and an endless foodie array that’s equal parts fresh produce and food trucks.

Clockwise from top: Field notebooks to fill with tales of your adventure | Denim cutoffs you can still hike in | A sweet silicone watch that can brave the elements | Wild-approved Danner hiking boots | A rugged, year-round “weekender” with room for an extended excursion | Classic Wayfarers to wear behind the wheel | The perfect light layer: an outdoorsy plaid
