Let's Go on a Hike

This past weekend Pip and I have been on a hiking craze. Mom and Baylee are at the beach so it's just Pip and I and I'm trying to keep her busy/entertained/exercised and the weather has been just gorgeous so we've been hiking.

Hike Log:

Friday we did about 6 miles along Lacamas Lake. It's pretty flat and easy and only 10 minutes by car from my mother's house in Vancouver. Plus my wonderful neighbor and her mini aussie came with us! Yay for catching up and getting exercise while the weather is still nice. The lake views alone make this a beautiful, peaceful walk. 



Saturday a couple of co-workers and I hit up Forest Park which is about a 10 minute drive from UP to hit up the wildwood trail. Forest Park has some of the longest hikes in Portland in a completely wooded and secluded area (we only did about 6 1/2 miles). This hike was a little more hilly and a great workout. 




Not sure where we're heading today but my guess is that we're going to do about 6 miles, it seems to be a good distance for both Pip and I. The nice thing about the hikes this weekend is they were both very dog friendly- as in garbage receptacles, safe trails (no cliffs, water to cross), and wide enough to hop off trail in case of other hikers wanting to pass.

What are you up to today?
XOXO
