Tiger Mountain offers miles of trails, including my previous training hike at West Tiger 3. You can reach that same summit in a fraction of the miles–for a price.

Mailbox Peak
Mailbox Peak. The name alone has hikers all over Washington either shudder or cower in fear. But for MSH training, it had to be done!
Granite Mountain
In the midst of buying a house and moving, it seemed I’d never catch up to my blog! Luckily (?) a sick day has knocked me on my rear, unable to do anything but sip fluids and write.
West Tiger 3
It seems like forever ago that I was conditioning for Mt. St. Helens with challenging hikes in the greater Seattle area. After Mount Townsend, the next one on my list was West Tiger 3 near Issaquah.
Redwood National Park: Prairie Creek
Mama Boots and I continued our road trip north from Eureka, headed to see more redwoods. It was time to see my twelfth national park!
Avenue of the Giants: Drury-Chaney Loop
During any roadtrip that goes through northern California, the Avenue of the Giants is a requisite stop. This 31-mile highway used to be part of the famous 101 Highway, but now it is a can’t-miss detour.
Cape Disappointment State Park
Cape Disappointment State Park, located in southwest Washington, has miles of paved and unpaved trails. For Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to hit those trails!
Heybrook Lookout
Clocking in at two miles round-trip, this hike might seem like the perfect leg-stretcher on the way home from adventures in Eastern Washington. But be warned, it’s a quad-burner!
Chelan Butte
This Mother’s Day weekend, I again spent it with Mother Nature and Mama Boots. However, this time we were joined by my Aunt for a flower-filled hike in Chelan!
Big Beaver Trail Spring Backpacking
Months ago, I made plans with a friend for some spring backpacking. The timing couldn’t have been better for the conditions and for my sanity!
