We wanted to go on a long hike on Sunday, so my husband got out his trusty "Happy Trails" map & figured out a route that would be just a little over 12 miles - we hoped.
We started at the North Chuckanut trail head and walked the trail through Arroyo park to Old Samish hwy.
We then walked on Old Samish hwy for a little over a mile to the Pine and Cedar lakes Trail head.
Along the way there were quite a few sticks with Hair ice on them.
It was 29 degrees when we started, so it was a wee bit chilly.
We then began the just over 1 mile UP of start to the Pine and Cedar lakes trail.
The photo below shows me during the UP.
We then hiked to Pine lake for lunch.
After lunch we hiked to Cedar lake and around it.
We then hiked the Pine and Cedar lakes viewpoint trail. We saw Mt. Baker in the distance when we got to the top of the ridge.
Then it was on to Raptor Ridge,
and finally Raptor Ridge viewpoint!
The photo below shows my husband inspecting the map at the base of the Hemlock trail, it was fun to see where we had been.
On to the North Chuckanut trail head to our car. A most excellent day with my best friend.
