Moss, Fern and Small Streams at Lord Hill Park

Lovely wet hike today at Lord Hill Park near Snohomish. All the rain we have had lately made for some beautiful scenery with lots of fern and moss. The trails were mostly small streams and creeks and there were many "new" ponds all over the park. The tree canopy kept us a little protected and it was warm enough that we were comfortable.

Hike at Soaring Eagle Regional Park

The hike group's first meeting of the year was wonderful. Soaring Eagle Regional Park had good trails, not too much elevation, blue sky, lots of moss, ferns and ice crystals, oh and Woody Woodpecker peck, peck, pecking away.

Some holiday workouts - in many parts of the world - including a birthday workout and party.

 

Cougar Mountain Holiday Hike

It was a wonderful day for a fabulous hike. Almost completely dry, just a few minutes of some light drizzle, not enough to get us wet. There were quite a few puddles and over flowing streams, but it made the two waterfalls we saw absolutley stunning.

There was the traditional decorated Christmas Tree along the way too. Great day overall.

Coal Creek Falls

Oh Christmas Tree

Far Country Falls

NorthWest Winter Hike

 The hike today at Squak Mtn was lovely, perfectly northwesty. Green, green, green with moss, fern, and evergreen trees. Top that all off with a few thousand feet of elevation ascent/descent and some drizzle, we were happy!!

And at the bottom, a few wildlife sightings in Seattle - black duck at Green Lake and a heron atop a dead tree in Magnuson Park. Both were way cool.
