Mt. Walker Hike

by Amy ~ October 12, 2008

We visited my cousins at their house on the Hood Canal this weekend. We did a great hike to Mt. Walker and spent the rest of the evening making dinner and catching up with my cousins.

The hike to the top of Mt. Walker took several hours. On the way up, I stopped to grab something out of my pack and birds flew and landed on the trees next to us. One even jumped on my hand. It turns out these guys are pretty friendly and were looking for some food.

The views on top of Mt. Walker were amazing. It was a clear day and you could see Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier and downtown Seattle. Today we went mushroom hunting on a nearby trail and found about 3 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms.
