Carne Mountain : 13 Oct '08. In pursuit of inspiring yellow views... Carne Mountain rises to over 7000 ft in the Mount Baker National Forest, about 35 miles north of Leavenworth, WA. We had the perfect day hike: crisp & dry air, plenty of sunshine, sweetly yellow larch trees standing out sharply against the backdrop of jagged peaks and fresh snowfall. It was a long drive from Seattle, but we didn't leave very early, and it was totally worthwhile. Oh, and we had a very lively and lovely companion--Matt's dog.

Mount Adams : 13-14 Sep '08. After two years of deliberation, finally got around to climbing Mount Adams. I went with my coworkers Eddie and Ryan. The climb was somewhat grueling due to the distance and roughness of the terrain, but definitely worthwhile. We caught the last weekend of nice weather in September. On the downside, there wasn't enough good snow left for glissading, which seems to be the biggest draw for many people, but we had our big highlight by taking a 'shortcut' through the glacier near the false summit...

Anacortes, kayaking : 31 Aug '08. After my climbing plan for the Labor Day weekend fell through unexpectedly, I made a quickly planned getaway with Bingram and Veronica to Anacortes, WA. We went on a guided kayaking tour around Burrows Island, which is just to the west of Fidalgo Island (on which Anacortes sits). We enjoyed nice weather, picturesque marina & water views, some old town charm, calm water, and good food.

Horseshoe Basin, Pasayten Wilderness 8/17 - 8/20/2008 : "A STRONG AND WET STORM SYSTEM MORE TYPICAL OF AUTUMN WILL BEGIN AFFECTING WESTERN WASHINGTON LATE TUESDAY...AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM PROMISES TO BRING SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TO THE AREA FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ON THE SOUTHWEST FACING SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES. ELSEWHERE...A QUARTER TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IS POSSIBLE...WITH SOME SOME SITES ON THE COAST RECEIVING NEAR AN INCH."<br>
With a description like that, our original plans to hike in the Glacier Peak Wilderness were quickly altered. We decided to try and head further east and north to the Okanogan region. Sadly, this year's annual hiking trip was still cut short due to Mother Nature. The "unseasonable" storm brought rain/hail/thunder/lightning/sun to our trip so we hiked out 2 days early.

Lake Serene : 9 Aug '08. A surprisingly rewarding hike not far from Seattle, on a not-so-promising day weather-wise. Lake Serene is reachable via a 3.5 mile somewhat steep trail starting just a little off SR-2 in Index, WA. Since it was a drab and occasionally wet day, there weren't too many people on the trail. But the woods spared us from getting wet, and we enjoyed some great scenery around the lake, with a surprising amount of snow left from last winter--at < 2300 ft elevation!

Goat Lake : 6 July '08. Goat Lake is nestled in a beautiful cirque off the Mountain Loop Highway, just a few miles past Barlow Pass. This was supposed to be a July 4th calorie burn-off hike. ;-) It wasn't challenging but good length: we did 11-12 miles roundtrip, with some scrambling around the lake. The sun decided to sleep in that Sunday, but that only made the light effects around the lake more interesting.

Boulder River trail + Darrington, Kirkland : 4 May '08. A day hike with Veronica and my coworker Bart. The Boulder River trail is near Darrington, WA. The highlight of the trail are two pretty high and full waterfalls--pretty impressive. After the hike, we had dinner in Darrington and then enjoyed the sunset at the Kirkland marina.

Soldier Lakes : This was my 8-year old son Joe's first backpacking trip. What a trooper he was! We went in to the Frank Church River of no Return Wilderness area for a quick overnighter and had a blast. We did about 12-14 miles (from start to finish) around the Soldier Lakes area. What a great area! I need to get back there and spend some more time exploring and fishing.
