Kirk and I were headed East for a family wedding in Virgina and decided to plan in a trip to Great Smoky National Park while we were out there. Ford couldn’t take the time off from school now that he is a teenager so he couldn’t come but we figured now was the testing point [...]

Yesterday my friend Jennifer had emailed me to see if I might be free this morning for a Mom & Kids hike. But of course! She has been recovering from surgery to her feet so this was her first hike of the year so we chose a shorter hike. After some discussion I came up [...]

Years ago, in 2003, (has it been that long??) when we had first moved to this area, Ford and I checked out The Glacier Basin Trail at Mt. Rainier NP early in the season. We had been turned back by snow maybe a mile short. Mostly due to me postholing so bad I was lucky [...]

Last weekend Kirk and I had gone up to the Island for family things and we had been expecting cold, overcast weather. When in the afternoon it cleared up and we instead got balmy winds and blue skies. We hadn’t been able to get away till late afternoon and on the way home we stopped [...]

Ford and I took Walker up to Sunrise for his first time yesterday. We left rainy cold weather behind as we drove higher towards Rainier. The last 1,000 feet of elevation gain was in a thick cloud, one of those go 2 mph’s as you cannot see in front of you and on a cliff….but [...]
Would Heaven Be Grand Park?

I have a bias – it is that I love few places more than I love Grand Park in Mt. Rainier. I have been there three times and I hope in my life I will go there many more times. Even in those three times I have seen so little of it. It is so [...]

With the still melting snow out here our choices of easier ‘family hikes’ is limited so we choose Silver Falls Loop, a hike out in the Ohanapecosh area of Mt. Rainier NP. It is a hike we often due in late spring (it melts early) but this year the falls were still thundering even in [...]

Jared and I had talked over a couple hikes with visions of grandeur that were promptly smacked down due to the ever lingering snow levels here in Western Washington. Even a week of higher than average temperatures couldn’t blow it all out. Oh well! So we decided instead to just make miles and get some [...]
