THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
Today we drove to the Nisqually National Wildflife Refuge near Lacey. We walked along the Twin Barns Loop Trail with a side trip along the Nisqually Estuary Boardwalk Trail and back, overall a beautiful trail with nice sitings of wildlife, 4.6 miles overall.
We went counterclockwise on the Twin Barns Loop Trail, stopping at the Riparian Forest Overlook and the Nisqually River Overlook, views along this section
Along the Nisqually Estuary Trail towards the boardwalk, we had a nice view of some Olympic Peaks across Puget Sound
