Oh wow to this hike! We went with Sausage and Igloo today, which is lovely to share hiking with them. Firstly we were all a little surprised at how much snow was at the start of this trail, I expected snow but not until a little further up. We started with our chains on our… Continue reading Olallie Lake via Pratt Lake Trail

Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
I went on this hike with one lady - usual hiking buddy - and we hoped to meet the other one on the trail....which we did! Lovely to see her briefly too. Driving along the i90 towards Snoqualmie Pass we were able to see how much snow was still around. I knew that people were… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
Visit from Mama S February 2017
Mama S came to visit last month for just under 3 weeks. We are both working now, so we weren't able to take her out and about as much as last year, but we passed the Orca card - like a Oyster card in London - which meant she could use the buses. A little… Continue reading Visit from Mama S February 2017

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
