Another Arlo pic to begin my day, but couldn’t see it till we got to the Mt Ranier Visitor’s Center. Erin captioned it: A cute little froggy. Perfect.
On to Mount Ranier and all her glory. As we were driving there, the clouds were hanging low but by the time we got ti the visitor’s center, they had lifted a lot. We stopped at Narada Falls. Lots of water rushing, more than when we saw them last fall.
Linda and I hiked the Skyline Trail. The trail took us up quite high. Only had to stop to breathe a few times
The trip down was a lot faster than going up.
After dinner, we decided to take a hike on the horse trails through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. What started out as a short hike ended up about 2.5 miles because we got a little lost. We didn’t realize how large an area the trails covered. It was getting later and we were still in the forest and not sure how much farther we had to get back to where we started. We were able to hear Road noise so we found a trail that would lead us to the road. When we came out of the forest, we were in the yard of someone’s house. Walked out their driveway to the road and had to decide which way to turn. Luckily we turned the correct way. A mile later we came to the road that would take us back to Ida. Phew, Linda and I were worried. Bill wouldn’t own up to being worried.

Saw a marmot on the way down.
Time for Bill and Linda to hike. More on that later. Wanted to get this much published now.
They just got back from their hike to the Nisqually Glacier.
