Hiking Makes Me Happy!

This weekend I strapped on my hiking shoes and hiked Tiger Mountain (5 miles) and Mount Si (8 miles).  I must say it was an amazing feeling getting back out there and being in nature.  Saturday morning we hiked Tiger Mountain with our Lab puppy (7 months old) and she did awesome.  This was her first hike and she did great.  We had to take it a little slower on the way back, but we could tell she had a fun time.  We saw some beautiful views and dodged a few mountain bikers, but other than that it was a perfect hike.  I would recommend this hike to anyone who had a dog or who wants to start hiking.  Then on Sunday morning we drove out to Mount Si and had no idea what we were in for.  It was a hard hike, probably the hardest hike I have ever done, but it was so worth it.  When you get to the top of Mount Si it's so beautiful.  We make sure to bring lunch with us, and I would recommend this for anyone doing this hike, and we relaxed on the rocks absorbing the view before going back down.  All in all it was a wonderful weekend full of hiking.  Although I am rather sore today it was so worth it.  I have found my love for hiking again and can't wait to do it again soon...hopefully next weekend! :)
