Hiking on Mt. Si over the weekend

On a spur-of-the-moment decision Tracy and I went hiking for the first time in 2005 on Mt. Si near North Bend, WA. It was grueling! Not only was it the first hike after winter, but it’s a steep climb on "Big Si" and just keeps going up and up (of course). We climbed 820 ft. in 1.5 miles. We still had another 2.5 miles and about 2,500 ft. to the top but (fortunately) started running out of daylight. I do need to start stretching more since my calf muscles would get incredibly tight.

I’ll try to post pictures later.
