Derek and I did a great hike today – Jan (Granny) stayed over night Saturday night and hung out with the kids (Jill works weekends) while Derek and I got to go out and play.
We were kicking around ideas for where to go and settled on the Olallie Bike Trail. This is a good time to check it out, since there are no bikes on the trail these days. For obvious reasons.
The hike was just over 8 miles, much of it in either spikes or snow shoes. Lots of snow up there. And lots of beauty along the trail:
We had a really great time and hope to start getting out together more often – our Ireland hiking trip is coming up in the first week of September and my! how time flies! Here is an image of our track, which started and finished near Rattlesnake Lake:
