Yakima Canyon, WA
Some views of Yakima Canyon southern Washington state. There are few pull outs to take pictures so video is limited to pointing out the window of the car. All the best shots of the twisties are in dangerous corners with no shoulder. This is a great road for Bikes and lots were out on this warm (hot) sunny day.

HIKING WASHINGTON'S HISTORY by Judy Bentley
Hiking Washington's History reveals the stories embedded in Washington's landscape. This trail guide narrates forty historic trails, ranging from short day hikes to three- or four-day backpacking trips over mountain passes. Every region in the state is included, from the northwesternmost tip of the continental United States at Cape Flattery to the remote Blue Mountains in the southeast. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the regions history followed by individual trail narratives and historical highlights. Quotes from diaries, journals, letters, and reports, as well as contemporary and historic photographs, describe sites and trails from Washington's past. Each trail description includes a map and provides directions, so hikers can follow the historic route. Judy Bentley tells readers how to get there, what to expect, and what to look for.
Despite Washington State's rapid growth, a remarkable number of historic trails have been preserved in national parks, restored by cities and towns, returned to public use by the railroads, or opened to hikers by Native American tribes. Some trails, such as the Iron Goat Trail, have been fully restored and interpreted. Others, such as the Naches Pass Trail, have been abused but survive. Some are easily accessible, such as the Duwamish River Trail in Seattle and the Spokane House trails near Spokane. Others, such as Chief Josephs Summer Trail, require a half-day journey just to reach the trailhead.
Hiking Washington's History is for hikers, amateur historians, newcomers unfamiliar with the state's history, and Northwest natives who know only part of that history. Savor the vicarious experience of a hike from a cozy chair on a rainy winter day, or put your boots on and hit the trail when the sun shines.
Judy Bentley, who teaches at South Seattle Community College, is an avid hiker and the author of fourteen books for young adults.
This book samples the landscape and history of the entire state, and is well organized, well researched, and well written. Its pages add a new dimension to hikes by linking our footfalls with those of the past. -Ruth Kirk
Judy Bentley has gathered a selection of favorite hikes from all over the state, then folded in just the right amount of historical context to make each of the treks pulsate through time. -Jack Nisbet, author of The Collector
Mount Rainier, Washington, panorama view of the wild flowers in full bloom

Eightmile Mountain 3/24-25/18
Damien and I wanted to return to the Enchantments for our first anniversary. However, we did not want to go back to Colchuck Lake... we've been there too many times! Our plan was to climb/ski Cashmere Mountain which has been on our list for awhile. However, even with the 8 inches of snow that fell overnight, coverage was thin especially on sun exposed slopes. Getting up to Little Lake Caroline appeared like it would be an odyssey. Thus, we decided to switch gears at the trail junction and instead headed to Eightmile Mountain. It is a rarely climbed peak mostly because it is a bushwhack/talus fest in the summer. However, we'd heard that it could be a good ski if conditions were right. Damien and I had gone to the base last year, but decided not to attempt it after hearing 8 avalanches come down overnight. Things were stable this weekend though, and to top it off, it turned out there was a party ahead that climbed the mountain on Saturday. We ran into them at the lake and they'd put in a track. Damien and I spent the night camped on the far side of Eightmile Lake. Sunday morning we got an alpine start following the skin track through newly burned forest (charcoal trees). When we began to climb open slopes the switchbacks became icy so we used ski crampons. Several times we strayed from the track and cut our own path as the angle was too aggressive to be safe in the icy morning conditions. About 500 feet below the summit we removed our skis. Instead of following boot pack made by the other team along ridge we cut up the snow slope. The rocky, knife-edge ridge seemed sketch to us. The snow scramble route we chose was straight forward and we arrived at the top after climbing 3400 feet. The summit was HUGE and offered unique views of Rainier, The Enchantments, Stuart Range, Cashmere and Glacier Peak Wilderness. We enjoyed some awesome turns all the way back to the lake as well! Perfect way to spend our anniversary!

Let's Drive Chinook Pass, Washington SR 410W
Chinook Pass is a winding, four-mile stretch of State Route 410 in the South Cascades of Washington, providing the east entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. It is part of the Chinook Scenic Byway and is considered one of the most beautiful routes in the country. Travelers along the route are rewarded with spectacular views of Mount Rainier, the lush alpine meadows surrounding the Tipsoo Lakes, the jagged peaks of the Goat Rocks, and the wilderness areas of the Wenatchee National Forest. Due to its high elevation of 5,430 feet (or 1,655 meters), Chinook Pass usually closes in November because of heavy snows and significant risk of avalanche. The Pass typically opens again in mid-May.
