Last weekend the Nature Chicks completed the second hike of the United General Amazing Race! The hike was at Sugarloaf Mountain in Anacortes and it was beautiful.
At first we were unsure of whether or not we would be able to go out and hike because of a thunderstorm that rolled in only a couple hours before we were scheduled to head out. But thankfully the rains past just in time affording us perfect hiking weather.
There is just something about walking through the woods, listening to the scattered rain drops on the trees above that is absolutely relaxing and wonderful. I realize, being in late June, we expect to have the summer sun and warm temperatures but I do prefer the coolness of the Pacific Northwest…. makes for a more comfortable hike as well.
Our hike began around Mt. Erie although we were actually going up to Sugarloaf.
A couple pictures from the hike…
At the top of the trail we got to experience a breath-taking view of the San Juan Islands. Pictures don’t even do it justice because the view was absolutely amazing…
It’s true, we live in an area with 7 + months of rain, very little sun and temperatures barely surpassing 85 at the hottest, but when you look at the beautiful nature around us it makes the mild weather all worth it.
Stay tuned for Hike #3 coming up!
