Hiking

hiking is for lovers.

 Dirty Harry's Balcony Snoqualmie Pass hiking
 Been slayin’ the hiking trails lately! We spent Valentine’s Day hiking to Dirty Harry’s Balcony, which ended up being fogged in. Womp, womp.  I brought my new camera all the way to the top of this thing to pull it out approximately zero times. I usually stop and take photos along the way but as you can see, this trail was ALL rock leftover from an old logging road. Ankle breaking rock to be exact and one had to pay close attention to where you placed your next step. I was really glad to have my hiking poles that day. We came back off the mountain to blue skies and capped off our day-o-love with homemade macaroni ‘n cheese and chocolate fondu 🙂

Serene Lake, strenuous hike.


Took some recommendations from a colleague for a “fun, but butt kicking trail” and ended up at Lake Serene outside of Index, WA. Four miles up to an alpine lake sounded pretty sweet on a Saturday and I rallied the troops for the excursion.

The excursion ended up being eight miles of hell – stairs, rocks and steep, steep slopes. We ran out of water and just about killed ourselves getting to the top. The lake was beautiful, but man, we were not ready for that sort of hike! The way down was just as bad, the knees were not loving it. But we made it back to the cars in one piece – even Miss Stellie made it all of the way without being carried. I was very impressed!
