This was a good hike - my first hard one. It was great for building confidence and also making me aware how much I have to improve quads :) still working on it. :)

Looking at some of this pictures again, I realized how awesome Stargazing might be here in the PNW

Mount Si Hike, WA, July 2016. This a a hard trail with the last-hop scramble testing fitness to the limit.

@NorthCascades ...wonderful pictures. My love for PNW outdoors keeps on growing. Cheers again

@NorthCascades - cheers, bud, for the very detailed guidance. I am adding all those to my 'weekend trails and hikes' list. Those pictures are motivation enough. Now I understand your 'kitten that' :)

@NorthCascades - appreciate that tip; I didn't know about the free rescue. That is a good way to encourage the outdoor activities. I just checked the NoCA trails. That area is breathtakingly beautiful. I am going to go there sooner than later. I will start with the day trips

Sorry to hear that. That is an awful injury, hope you have recovered. I hope it makes you stronger

Recent hike: Mailbox Peak, WA

North Cascades - absolutely do post pictures, I have not been to Noca but will put that on my list. Thanks for the tip.

I am catching this now. I goto Gold Gym Redmond during the week and usually do a Trail/Hike Saturday mornings
