Naches Peak Loop Trail sits off of Highway 410, right at Chinook Pass and just along the boundary of Mt. Rainier National Park. A portion of the trail is outside of the park boundary but also links up with the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail).

I had hoped to do a bit more hiking since our last adventure to Franklin Falls, but life got in the way. Between family visits, play time for the girls with friends, daily needs and my attempts to get friends to hike with us on the trails, I just couldn't get out.

Not a cloud in the sky and at the time that I dropped my kiddos off at school it was in the high 60's. So, I decided to take my new boots … Continue reading First Short Hike…err… Walk of the Year
