On this hike, we were delighted to welcome back a good friend of ours, Leah! Leah went on several hikes with us before the pandemic, and is now back in the fold!

This hike was a beautiful National Forest trail out by Enumclaw Washington to the Green Water Lakes. Since it was way out past Enumclaw, there were not a lot of other people on the trail, so it was quite peaceful.

Along the way, we crossed several bridges, some of which were sturdier than others, and ended up at a campground.

Much to our endless amusement, we found random composting toilets in the middle of the woods!

We even had options, just in case one was occupied!

This was a wonderful day hike, and it was so good to get outside with one of our wonderful friends. And I will remember to fill up the gas tank next time. We got back to Enumclaw…but it was a little close. That is a story for another time. Welcome back Leah, and many more hikes are in our future!
