#hiking the GR Metropole Bordeaux. Finding two different worlds, one of parks and forest trails, the other abject poverty, tents and people on the streets. 25 miles of 75 done, more next time I am back in Bordeaux.
Hiking near the GR121 in Irun Spain, the trail goes along a cliff.
Beautiful view of the coast from the trail.
More coastal views from the GR121
Lots of ups and downs, to the edge of the ocean then back up high.
Hiking in Spain, near the French border near Irun on the GR121. I ended up making the mistake of thinking I'll just hike down a ways, then go up and over to the train back to Irun. Well, that ended up being a 30 km hike with 1000m elevation gain. Fun, but OH boy.

The water was super still, the reflections in the water of the trees made it hard to tell up from down.

An interesting part of the trail, the dead tree's core was burned in a past fire
#hinking near North Bend, WA on the CCC trail. Flat and easy. fora bad knees day.
Agreed on this statistic and it is true, the problem is you can phrase this two ways:
1. The way you did.
2. Just so happened as unions went down, productivity went up at the same time. Thus Unions=bad.
It is important with the parasitic press of the right wing to think through comments completely.

Bridge over a creek on the trail
Typical of what the trial looked like.
#hiking to Granite Lakes via the Granite Creek trail near North Bend, WA. Much of the trial is a reforested logging road, so pretty much a tree walk uphill until you get to the lake area. Uphill just over 750 meters.

#hiking #backpacking to Lake Ann near Mount Baker in Washington State. The views were amazing. Mount Shuskin was stunning with its glaciers. In the evening we could hear the cracks and pops of one of the glaciers. My son said it was one of the best places he has ever been.
Relaxing at the camp area on the river bed.
Hoh river at the Happy Four camp area.
Giant trees on the trail to the camp area.
This tree was huge, the photo doesn't do justice to how large it really is.
Took a quick overnight #hiking #backpacking trip in the Olympic National Park up the Hoh river valley trail. We stayed at the Happy Four camp area. Fun, beautiful views and massive trees. Some of the old growth trees are simply stunning, so big it is hard to imagine something can grow that large.

#hiking to Beckler Peak in Washington state, near Skykomish, WA. Some great views of the mountains in the area, including Glacier Peak, one of the Washington volcanoes.
They can't, the guy got deported.
What this boils down to is a fee hike to make our parks unaffordable, then in a year or two they can say "see, no one uses the parks. We should eliminate them and sell them off to commercial businesses so they can make money for the US. "

#hiking up to Boulder Lake, near Sultan, WA for an one night (rainy) #backpacking trip. Beautiful lake, really nice trail with several decent back country camping sites, many with fire pits. My son even got a little bit of Tenkara fishing in (didn't catch anything).

Random #hiking photos from the Pacific Northwest from a hike I took with my son.
Actually not true. Most thru hikers (ie: PCT) use one pair to hike and one at night. Wash them at town stops. If you have the right material, such as wool, they are fine for long periods, like you are seeing on the Youtube.

#hiking this weekend in the Pacific Northwest near Index, WA. My son and I attempted to get to Blanca Lake, unfortunately, the snow was too deep and we didn't feel safe at a steep ridge with drop-offs on either side and turned around. Views were amazing anyway.
