 |
| Our hike started by crossing this beautiful bridge over the Middle Fork - Snoqualmie River |
 |
| Much of the time we could see the river and hear it in the background. Mountains filled the horizon. |
 |
| This rock path is evidence of the hard work done by the WTA |
 |
| We walked past huge rock formations. This one had a cave at its base. The WTA built the steps on the far left. |
 |
| We came around a bend and stopped in awe at this magnificent view. |
 |
| At times we walked through shaded woods. |
 |
| We hiked along the trail for three miles, stopped to eat lunch, and then turned around and headed back. |
 |
| Back across the bridge, headed home. |

What a beautiful walk. I've been walking a lot recently but only in suburbia, I'd like to do more walking in the bush.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw an article about Japanese "forest bathing." It encourages people to get out among trees for improved mental and physical health. Even though my muscles ache after yesterday's 6-mile hike, I believe my hikes and walks are a great benefit to me. I hope you're able to get out into the woods too.
DeleteThat's funny, I've been reading about forest bathing too in preparation for our trip to japan next year. It's what I thought of straight away when I saw the big beautiful stand of tall trees in the middle of your post. I wanted to hug one of those trees and breathe in their smell :-)
DeleteHow exciting! I hope you do some forest bathing while you're in Japan. It's a cool idea, isn't it? Most of this hike was in a forested area with tantalizing glimpses of the river and mountains. Just thinking about it is calming.
DeleteAwesome trails! And what a great job the volunteers have done. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky to have an army of dedicated volunteers who maintain the state's walking and hiking paths. Some areas of this trail had been washed away during storms in the past few winters, but now they're restored and can be safely navigated.
DeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
It really is a beautiful trail, and it wasn't too difficult.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my photos. Thanks for leaving a comment on my post.
How absolutely gorgeous! I need to find some friends to hike with. Of course, it's so hot here in the summer I'd wait until fall to do any.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my photos. I'm lucky to live in a temperate climate... generally. However, we had some hot days this past summer. I'd much rather hike or walk in cold weather than in hot.
DeleteAnother interesting adventure!
