Hiking in Spain, near the French border near Irun on the GR121. I ended up making the mistake of thinking I'll just hike down a ways, then go up and over to the train back to Irun. Well, that ended up being a 30 km hike with 1000m elevation gain. Fun, but OH boy.

Beautiful day yesterday in the Puget Sound of Washington State. Went #hiking near Anacortes, WA to Sugarloaf mtn and Whistle Lake.

#hiking to Garfield Ledge near North Bend, WA. You can just make out the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River through the clouds.

From the archives, #hiking along Puget Sound on one of the San Juan Islands.

#hinking near North Bend, WA on the CCC trail. Flat and easy. fora bad knees day.

Agreed on this statistic and it is true, the problem is you can phrase this two ways:
1. The way you did.
2. Just so happened as unions went down, productivity went up at the same time. Thus Unions=bad.
It is important with the parasitic press of the right wing to think through comments completely.

#hiking just south of Bellingham, WA in the Blanchard State Forest to the Oysterdome view point.

#hiking on the GR6 near Rocamadour, France (plus a night castle photo).

Sorry, another political rant, what is going to stop the Trump destruction train? Next up...

Next up....

#hiking to Granite Lakes via the Granite Creek trail near North Bend, WA. Much of the trial is a reforested logging road, so pretty much a tree walk uphill until you get to the lake area. Uphill just over 750 meters.

#hiking in France, a few photos of the GR Bordeaux, in Gradignan, France. Super flat and easy in this area.

#hiking #backpacking to Lake Ann near Mount Baker in Washington State. The views were amazing. Mount Shuskin was stunning with its glaciers. In the evening we could hear the cracks and pops of one of the glaciers. My son said it was one of the best places he has ever been.

Took a quick overnight #hiking #backpacking trip in the Olympic National Park up the Hoh river valley trail. We stayed at the Happy Four camp area. Fun, beautiful views and massive trees. Some of the old growth trees are simply stunning, so big it is hard to imagine something can grow that large.

#hiking to Beckler Peak in Washington state, near Skykomish, WA. Some great views of the mountains in the area, including Glacier Peak, one of the Washington volcanoes.

They can't, the guy got deported.

What this boils down to is a fee hike to make our parks unaffordable, then in a year or two they can say "see, no one uses the parks. We should eliminate them and sell them off to commercial businesses so they can make money for the US. "

More photos from a #hiking and #backpacking trip to Boulder Lake, WA.

#hiking up to Boulder Lake, near Sultan, WA for an one night (rainy) #backpacking trip. Beautiful lake, really nice trail with several decent back country camping sites, many with fire pits. My son even got a little bit of Tenkara fishing in (didn't catch anything).

Random #hiking photos from the Pacific Northwest from a hike I took with my son.

Actually not true. Most thru hikers (ie: PCT) use one pair to hike and one at night. Wash them at town stops. If you have the right material, such as wool, they are fine for long periods, like you are seeing on the Youtube.

Saw this tree growing right alongside a wind broken tree #hiking last weekend.

#hiking this weekend in the Pacific Northwest near Index, WA. My son and I attempted to get to Blanca Lake, unfortunately, the snow was too deep and we didn't feel safe at a steep ridge with drop-offs on either side and turned around. Views were amazing anyway.

Nice, except the trail is closed this year due to storm damage.
