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
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
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
Teneriffe Falls 2/15/16

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
Little Si 1/22/16
Sometimes I find myself wanting to go out hiking but not knowing the areas nearby well enough, and not wanting to go solo I was at a loss of what to do. Weekends do not always work out well, and other times the weather might be poor. I have 3 days during the week I find… Continue reading Little Si 1/22/16
Talapus Trail to Lake Talapus 11-15-15
Originally Hubster had suggested Teneriffe Falls, but once we met with our hiking buddy - let's call him....H - we changed our minds. We started later than expected due to some road closures, and H had the suggestion of another one. We swapped into H's car as it's a landcruiser which means we can access more… Continue reading Talapus Trail to Lake Talapus 11-15-15
