On Saturday, July 11, Henry, Joseph, and Dad got up early to get a head start on the weekend with a hike at Mount Pilchuck. Since Henry had his written driving test at noon (he passed, yea!), we left home at 5:30am, arriving at the hike at 7:10am. It took us a bit more than 3 hours, and, after hitting some gridlock traffic on the forest road coming down (!), we got home with 10 minutes to spare!
The hike was nice - the weather cleared and while it was fairly steep up the mountain, the views were great, of the Sound, Seattle skyline, Mounts Baker and Rainier, and lots of other peaks. There's a fire lookout on the top which you climb up a ladder to get to. A few snowy patches still, but we were able to get by.
