Kirk and I celebrated our toddler,Walker, turning 3 this past weekend by a family trip to the coast and hiking in the rain forest.We had picked up two nights at Kalaloch Lodge for $99 a night in a cabin, which is a great price. And considering later winter/early spring is some of the best time to enjoy the Olympic [...]

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 [...]

Monday Kirk had a rare weekday off, so we took all the boys up to Sunrise at Mt. Rainier NP for an easy day of hiking. We hadn’t been up there since last summer and last year the snow was deep. This was so much better – barely any snow left made for easy hiking. The weather [...]

8 years ago I hiked part of a trail on the crest of Eastern Washington, Crow Lake Way Trail, in a miserable rain/snow storm. My oldest (Ford) was with me, he was 6 at the time. I have only one photo of that trip. His backpack was bigger than him at times, he was my [...]

2011 goes down into history in a matter of days and if anything it was the slowest year of hiking for me in well over a decade. But I was OK with that. I had my reasons and what I did get in made up for what I didn’t. But I made a lot of [...]

A combination of a Meet-Up group for moms, friends of friends and a few more ended up with 8 moms and 8 babies (good thing we were not on a wilderness trail!) meeting up this morning for a hike. Considering it was decently nice (and by that I mean no rain) and my other option [...]

Along The Carbon River – Spring Hiking

Posted in hiking, photos, Trip Reports, tagged , , , , , , , on May 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Do you have a hike that says “Spring” to you? In the past couple years it has become the Carbon River on the far side of Mount Rainier National Park. Or should I say now that past 5 years? It has been that long I realized today as we were hiking, since the destruction from [...]
