Rattlesnake Lake and Rattlesnake Ledge near North Bend

It turned out to be a beautiful day so, I packed up my camera and headed out for a new hike at Rattlesnake Lake and Rattlesnake Ledge near North Bend. Wow, it was a great hike with awesome views. It is about a 2,000 ft elevation and about a two mile hike to the top so it is a bit of a trek to reach. But well worth it. Spectacular views all around you of the mountains and Rattlesnake Lake. There was still some snow and ice on the trail and I am happy to report that I only fell once. The camera made it through just fine in the fall. The trail was very busy today, with many languages heard from countries such as Germany, France, China, India, Australia, England and Japan.

Snoqualmie Falls

It was another cool spring like day yesterday so we went for a drive out to Snoqualmie Falls and somehow ended up going back through Fall City and Redmond.
