Twin Lakes Hike

The Twin Lakes trailhead is at the end of the road on the north side of Lake Wenatchee. We did this hike last spring when there was still some snow on the ground at the top. Just over 8 miles round trip, this has been one of our favorites. A lovely variety of views and a lake to jump into at the end.

Love the view point near the beginning of the trail.

What's a hike without a little water fall.

Lake number one...

Cool abandoned log cabins...

Wooden bridge at lake number two.

Flora...

Picnic in Skykomish

Pulled over to picnic in Skykomish on our way to Poofy's Paradise. A short stop this time, looking forward to hiking the trails this summer.

It was a cloudy, grey day, decided to play up the clouds with my photo filters.

Sweet little Candy shop!

The old Skykomish Hotel will soon be renovated....

Thanks to the folks at the Great Northern Cascade Railway for the free train ride!

 

A walk in the woods....

Just a short walk from the south shore of Lake Wenatchee, the Hidden Lake trail is a lovely walk in the woods.

There are two starting points for the Hidden Lake trail Head, this time we tried the shorter walk that begins a little further up the road.

The trees were sparkling after last nights rain...

Just a short walk to Hidden Lake.

Back at Lake Wenatchee checking out the blooms in the stream.

Weekend Hike in Shugart Flats

It was a lovely book club get away to Poofy's Paradise this weekend.  We managed to squeeze in the local Shugart Flats hike before the wind storm. Shared the trail with this cutie.

Beautiful Sunset at Hidden Lake

We went out to always amazing Hidden Lake to watch the sunset this evening. So stunning and serene at this time of day. Hidden Lake's about a 10 minute drive followed by a quick 15 minutes or so hike.
