I wasn’t planning on hiking yesterday until I got a last minute invite to do a late afternoon hike with a friend, Jared and his girlfriend, Lauren. They were thinking of going up to Sheep Lake and beyond at Chinook Pass near Mt. Rainier. I hadn’t been back to Sheep Lake since fall of 2010 [...]

Hikermama had asked if I had Saturday free for a kidling hike and between that and cleaning out our gutters? Hiking won. Duh! Being Mid-October it gets tricky finding that last alpine hike of the season before the snow comes, mostly due to the ice that starts forming – where the soil never warms up [...]

Hiking In The Clouds

This morning was a chilly one and it only got colder as we drove higher into the mountains, though it only hit 41° for the low. The western side of the state was shrouded in clouds, crossing over into the eastern side brought a warming sun and blue skies. A nice combo overall. We parked [...]

Hoosierdaddy had been asking if I would have the time to go and do trail angel-ing for PCT thru hikers this summer. He had injured his leg this month so isn’t able to hike real miles right now. I took him up on it this past weekend and we headed down South to Cascade Locks, [...]
