Waking up at 5:30 am wasn’t easy but it paid off. My friend Janelle and I went up to Chinook Pass near Mt. Rainier for an easy dayhike of Naches Peak Loop. Why? Wildflowers! It is a hike I get in 1 to 2 times a year usually, it is pretty…you get to be on the Pacific [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
