Love it already because its PNW based we should do a hike together sometime. I have only ever done one at Mt. Rainier (a 6 mile hike my first time that my ex thought was only 3miles) and then I have hiked Rattlesnake in North Bend a few times. Attempted Pupu point but pussed out 1/3 of the way0

This is awesome. You're gonna have to change that blog to skinnygirlhikes before you know it!
I live in P-town and LOVE hiking, too! Did the Hamilton Mountain loop last weekend - hard but amazing views! MIght be nice to join your squad sometime...0 -
Beautiful pictures on the blog! I'd love to visit the NW sometimes soon.0

I love it!! I also hate it when I get a hiking book that says a hike is "easy" and I nearly die. :grumble: Hiking is one of my favorite things ever though!
Your pictures are beautiful!0 -
Great Blog!0

Agh. As soon as Texas gets over this "Let's have highs in the 100s and heat indexes in the 110s" kick, I might start hiking. Your pictures are BEAUTIFUL.0

I've hiked to tunnel falls! So strange to read about something so local. I'm north of Vancouver, WA. And this past week I took my kids to Multnomah Falls. I hadn't been to the top since I was a fit teenager and I was DYING on the way up. That was a very hard earned 1 mile, I totally agree!0

OMG! You are awesome! I heard those hikes are tough! My next big one is going to be either Mt. Definance or Dogwood Mtn...0

thank you so much! I will let you know when the next adventure will be!!!0

Thank you so much!! maybe one day we can hike one of those "easy" hikes together!! :happy:0

Thank you so much!!!:happy:0

Nice site Sheryl. I too have found hiking to be a great way to get exercise and loos serious poundage.0

Love it Sheryl! I started my weight loss journey at 350lbs in 2008, and after losing about 50lbs I took up hiking. That REALLY sped up the weight loss since I hadn't been doing anything physical up until then, and I enjoyed a lot of great Oregon/Washington hikes including...
- Eagle Creek to Tunnel Falls (hint - go just a little further, right around the corner from tunnel falls and you'll see twister falls - it's called twister because the falls are split in two and they cross each other on the way down)
- Dog Mountain
- Silver Falls
- Saddle Mountain
- Ape Caves
Hiking helped me get to 220lbs (130lbs down!) and now running is helping me get to my goal. This weekend we're backpacking about 32 miles though, half-way around Three Sisters with my fiance's dad then we summit the south sister on Sunday0 -
LOVE the site!!! Grew up near Mount Rainier (Tacoma, Puyallup, spanaway) and used to work near the park entrance! miss the hiking there a lot. Haven't been adventurous enough yet here in Everett to find good hikes!!! I'll be heading down to the mountain in september though for a weekend hike with my girlfriends! FUN STUFF!!0

I'm trying to get in shape for a hike in September, thinking of starting by putting a lot of weights in my backpack and walking up some hills around here.0
