1st Hike of 2009!

With Rich's BIG hike in September of this year...we decided that we better start getting out there and seeing what he is made of. Of course, I need to work out too...so it's great for both of us. Rich read about "Great Winter Hikes" in the Seattle Times...so we took them up on one and headed out Sunday Monday!


The Coal Creek Park Hikes...
we probably should have studied the map a little more!
Here's Rich just getting started on the Hike!

Some mushrooms we spotted along the way...

Rich approaching Coal Creek Falls.

He made it up there...it was pretty slick.

We continued on and ran into a little snow...

Then he caught me in action...

Which way to go?!?!

We tried "Old Man Trail"...but all we saw was an old man.

Rich's sense of direction got us safely back to our car. We hiked about 5 miles in a little under 2 hours. It definitely wasn't too strenuous...but it was a great Hike to start out our season with.
