August 18 2013 Mount Pilchuck

Hiking fell by the wayside with the kiddo but we have had a few adventures. I'll try and catch up on the backlog. Last August we decided to attempt Mount Pilchuck with the kidlet in the hiking pack. Enjoy the photos! View from the Parking Lot  photo DSC_0153.jpg
 It was a gorgeous day, as you can see!  photo DSC_0156.jpg






The Kidlet was not quite so amused, but was tolerant. After all, new things to see!  photo DSC_0154.jpg  photo DSC_0157.jpg  photo DSC_0161.jpg We hit clouds right away. It kept things cool, which was nice. The trail was very busy. 1 mile! Brutal.  photo DSC_0162.jpg But the kidlet is riding in style!  photo DSC_0163.jpg  photo DSC_0166.jpg Peekaboo views!  photo DSC_0169.jpg Hello there parking lot... really gives you an appreciation for how much climbing you've done...  photo DSC_0171.jpg Into the scrubbier zone.  photo DSC_0173.jpg Rocks up ahead.  photo DSC_0175.jpg Hiking up into the clouds.  photo DSC_0179.jpg Me!  photo DSC_0181.jpg Ooof.  photo DSC_0186.jpg It was so pretty up here.  photo DSC_0187.jpg We stopped to have lunch because kidlet was getting fussy. Our lunch spot had really nice views.  photo DSC_0194.jpg  photo DSC_0195.jpg  photo DSC_0200.jpg  photo DSC_0203.jpg But since the kidlet was getting fussy and tired, we decided to head back down. We'd reached a respectable height, even if it wasn't the summit and felt accomplished enough. Thankfully the kidlet slept all the way down the mountain.  photo DSC_0206.jpg  photo DSC_0217.jpg

 Kidlet got her first fat lip back at the car. awww.  photo DSC_0221.jpg


All in all it was a nice, if grueling hike. I'll want to go back when I'm in better shape to try and finish it. I'd love to get to the top!
