Tiger Mountain

It sure is great to be back home in Washington because we love all the hikes around here.  We decided that we want to summit Mt. Adams this summer, probably next month, and so we are starting off with a few shorter day hikes to train.  Hopefully next summer we will be able to do Mt. Rainier, but thats a ways off still.  Last weekend we went to hike Tiger Mountain with our full packs to get used to the weight.  We couldn't find the right trailhead so we ended up hiking this weird loop that we figured out would be a sweet trail to go mountain biking.  It was a great day for hiking, a little rainy, but guess thats almost expected here.

From the parking lot, with Brandon's sweet orange glasses on. Also, we were excited to try out that pack, it was a wedding present from Justin and Ashley and Brandon and we finally got to use it!


We found a rotted tree hanging over the trail so Seth, being very manly, pushed it down and then rolled it out of the way

And he is very proud of his handiwork

When we took this picture it was really rainy and windy, the poor bumble bee was trying to hide underneath this leaf but it wasn't working out so well
