Living in Seattle and being able to drive 45 minutes to hike has it’s perks! It’s so great to get out of the busy city and out into the Wilderness. I try and hike once a week and the first hike this Spring was Little Si in North Bend. I’m so glad it’s lighter later in the evenings so we are able to do this.
It’s a short hike that took us one hour each way. Remember to always take water with you!

Reached the top in an hour and it was a nice clear day. We always bring our dinner and rest at the top to enjoy the views. My staple item is PB&J and my homemade trail mix. I will share my trail mix recipe in an upcoming post.

Heading back down and had to take this shot. My favorite picture of the night.

There might be a surprise in store for you when hiking. On our way down we saw some people rock climbing. It was really neat to see their talent. They are so brave!
