Awesome photos!

Today my friends and I hiked the Wallace falls loop trail in Gold Bar WA. So much fun. 10.2 miles round trip, and not as much rain as we expected. Burned 3006 calories in 5 hours.

Hiker Girl, these are some beautiful photographs and an awesome hike!!!

Here's the video from my backpacking trip this weekend. This trip took us into three states. Enjoy.

OK , this isn't really a hike, but what's a hike? I was on trails , had trail shoes, and was accompanied by 2 awesome hiking dogs
Just thought this would be fun to share.
There is a park very close to my house. It used to be property of a mental institution, that was self sufficient. They raised their own chickens, pigs, and garden. CRAZY HUH? They since have moved the hospital across the road and tore down the old one (used to be our favorite place to visit on Halloween when were were teenagers). 350 acres and over 10 miles of trails. Doggy heaven
Today we walked 3.12 miles and burned 307 calories.

From this hill on a clear day you can see Mt Rainier and the South Cascades , more trails on the other side of the lake, just like hiking back there!


Lower trail


The old silos and barns. My daughters engagement photos were taken near these barns

Went to Jasper again, saw quite a bit of wildlife...even saw a bear.

Got out for a quick (~2 mi) hike after work yesterday. This area is Fort Funston, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It's a good workout even for a short hike, since the area is all sand dunes so any time you're going up hill you really have to work for it! :laugh:

I turned 50, so I stepped away from real life to walk with the living :laugh:

Pictures and videos can not do this trip justice , but I tried. I have a friend who lives in Oregon, so she came up and hung out at my camp for a couple of hours, to honor my birthday.
Here's a video of my trip. I'm not much into talking to a camera, especially driving 70 mph, so don't laugh at me seeming distracted at the beginning hahaha.

Nice pics everyone, love how close you got to that curious ram. I've been doing a lot of short hikes around WA, mostly I-90 corridor hikes so I can fit them into life, but only crappy phone pics if anything, not much to share.
