Read MoreFor our last full day in Annapolis Royal, we drove over to Cape Split Provincial Park to hike out to Cape Split. While the other hikes we've done on this trip have been short, this one was what would be a normal full-day hike for us.
Read MoreOur spring and summer hiking went in spurts, then we did several during a week-long road trip. We even made it to Idaho for the last hike.
Read MoreThis installment covers hikes from the past several months. We were in Arizona for a week in November and did a couple of hikes in Saguaro National Forest. In late January/early February, we went on a short road trip to the Leavenworth area and did some snowshoeing. The last couple of snowshoe hikes were in the Seattle area.
Read MoreAutumn marks the end of the hiking season in the Pacific Northwest. We ended getting only a handful of hikes over the past several months, but Melody did hike several times with a weekly group.
Read MoreMost of our hikes in May were during our trip through the Columbia River Gorge, but we did sneak a hike early in the month to Wallace Falls. We intended for that early hike to get us used to elevation gain (knowing we would have 2,500+ ft gain hikes), but it also ended up being very long. And the last hike was snuck in before several busy upcoming weeks.
Read MoreAfter a couple more outings on snowshoes (one at Blewett Pass and one at Stevens Pass), we went up north towards Bellingham for the first hike of the season.
Read MoreWe were able to fit in one more hike in November 2020, then switched to snowshoeing starting in January. In addition to a couple of outings in the Snoqualmie Pass area, we also spent a couple of nights in the Lake Wenatchee area and got in some great snowshoe hikes there.
Read MoreWe did a lot of hiking in September and October, with all but Snow Lake on a trip we took to the Mt. Baker area and Leavenworth. I only tracked the larger hikes, which is why there isn't distance/gain data or graphs for the short ones.
Read MoreWe took a few hikes in July and August, with a couple along Highway 2 and another near Mt. Rainier. They were each more challenging than the first two hikes of the season.
Read MoreWe managed to fit a couple of hikes in late May and June. We normally go on a few hikes during the season, but are doing more since we didn't do our usual longer vacation. Some of the hikes are ones that Melody has done with her mid-week hiking group (which is not active this summer).
