WA's most popular hike gets a makeover

As 2022 comes to a close, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes of the year.
Today: Rattlesnake Ledge is arguably Washington's most popular hiking trail. But as the region's population has boomed, all the boots on the trail was eroding the mountaintop. We take a trip up the reconstructed trail with one of the volunteer crews that have transformed it into a local landmark that will stick with us for decades to come.
