    Default National parks hiking1

    Just got home from 6 days of hiking in Colorado and Utah. LOVED IT! Totally amazing. Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, and Arches National Parks along with other hikes thrown in. I highly recommend Country Wakers, amazing trip. Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab was the nicest place I've ever visited, and I'm old and well traveled. Take me back! This picture describes how mountains Make me feel. Never could have done this trip fat.

    This picture was taken at delicate arch, or what I like to call it "Utah license plate arch." Tough hike to the top with narrow ledges. (Don't take your kids!)

    Love the picture!! Amazingly beautiful!! Narrow ledges? Yeah, not for me. LOL. I would have pissed my pants. I am not super afraid of heights but that would freak me out. Regular hiking I am down with.

    If you're staying at Red Cliffs Lodge it's heaven on earth. There were also beautiful camping sites along the river on the way to the lodge. Here is a photo I took from dinner out their dining room window the last night with the cliffs reflecting in the Colorado River. Have a great trip, next time I'll join you!!Attachment 27072

    Olympic Peninsula has beautiful hiking. Lots of beautiful areas you can explore. Haven’t done any hiking yet around Seattle.

    To bad your trip is when I leave for Utah. Would have loved to met you up there for a day. I live in Vancouver Wa. 3.5 hrs south of Seattle. If you return in August maybe we could meet up for a hike.
