First hike of the year and it was a cold one! 23F! Franklin Falls is one which had been on my radar since last year, I saw the beautiful frozen falls online and wanted to go but just did not manage it. This year I did!! A quickly organised hike which means one we decided… Continue reading Franklin Falls 03/01/2017

Oyster Dome 04/01/16
This was my last hike before I headed back to the UK. Oyster Dome. Somewhere I had not heard of, nor knew where it was. This was just under 2 hours drive, and we all drove in one car. Hubster dropped me off at one of the Park and Rides, partly because I didn't know… Continue reading Oyster Dome 04/01/16
Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
I finally had the opportunity to use my snow shoes which we brought from Costco before Christmas. This was not the original plan, but because I managed to hurt my thigh yesterday by slipping on the Ira Springs Trail I asked to go somewhere nearer. I was the driver too, and couldn't face driving almost… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
So I hiked this with my two hiking buddies from the Ladies Hiking Group, we were aware of the low avalanche warning and for me I certainly feel comfortable speaking to the others if I feel like I can't or shouldn't continue on a route. This trail proved this, and also that we hike similarly… Continue reading Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
An afternoon hike for me and Hubster today. I saw this hike posted on the Ladies Group but on a day when I would be unable to join them, but it looked like a nice one so I nabbed it! Licorice Fern Trail is about 4.5 miles long, with not a huge elevation so was… Continue reading Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
The ladies I hiked with, minus one who needed to head back down. Next time! I knew this would be a hard hike, it is steep and long, plus I need to carry my own pack. There are some reasons why I married Hubster :-p This was another Ladies Group Hike, and I really can… Continue reading Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
Have I managed to upload a video?! Teneriffe Falls Feb 2016
I have started to take some videos on my camera of hikes I do, I wondered if it would be more interesting to collate photos together to show people instead of posts but that is something neither here nor there at this point of time. Anyway, my YouTube Channel is : click here This is… Continue reading Have I managed to upload a video?! Teneriffe Falls Feb 2016
The Talus Loop 02/20/16
A small afternoon hike with Sausage and Igloo as well as Hubster. I choose this one! I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was and will do this one again, I reckon it would be suitable for a trail run during the week. I would feel confident doing this hike alone. Talus Loop Trail… Continue reading The Talus Loop 02/20/16
Wallace Falls 2/16/16
Two hikes this week 🙂 Off to another falls today, a later start and I'm carpooling with another lady so am meeting in a carpark at 8:30am. This is another hike which will not take all day, and I'm enjoying having the rest of my afternoon to do something else. Sleep, eat....crochet a baby blanket… Continue reading Wallace Falls 2/16/16
Teneriffe Falls 2/15/16
6am my alarm went off! 6am! I couldn't believe it. Up before Hubster, and actually up. Today he is off to Steven's Pass for a day on his board with Beardy on his skis. It was a rainy morning which continued into a rainy day, but what a good morning it was! I really enjoyed… Continue reading Teneriffe Falls 2/15/16
