Heart/Erie lakes trail run

We enjoyed our hikes in the Anacortes area Thursday so much that we decided to go back to Heart lake & run there today for our Spartan race training run. You can read about our Thursday hikes at Sharpe park, Heart & Erie lakes HERE. 
We started at the Heart lake parking lot and ran to Erie lake and back. I took this map photo at a kiosk just down the trail from where we started.

My hubby running along in front of me.

First Skunk cabbage of the year, our first "true sign" of spring!


You can just make out Erie lake through the trees.

Mount Erie behind me. If you look real hard you'll be able to see some rock climbers on the cliff, We could hear them before we saw them.

Isn't this old Maple tree magnificent?

We enjoyed our day on the trails, it's a really nice forest to run in.
