Ape Canyon
This past Saturday, Lydia, Karl and I (along with 14 other friends) had the opportunity to go on a hike up at Ape Canyon. The day was perfect: sunny, not a cloud in the sky with a nice wind and the hike was amazing (and one that I’d like to do again). Below are some of the pictures I (and Lydia and Daniel) got of the day:

Mt. St. Helens.

A toad (or was it a really big frog?) that I noticed on the side of the path and which Daniel was kind enough to catch. (I’m afraid that even if it meant not getting a picture of it – I wasn’t about to touch the thing.)

Not sure what these are called – they were pretty frequent on the hike though.

If you look toward the left, you can see Mt. Rainier.

Photographic proof that I was on the hike.

Daniel – look at this picture…
and now look at this one – I was zoomed way out so it’s hard to see him.


The guys all took a little detour up a nearby hill/small mountain. The girls stayed below and ate chocolate.

Looking at these photos makes me all the more sad that I didn’t go and all the more excited for the next Mt. Saint Helens hiking trip!
I like your blog by the way. <3
