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.

Manastash Ridge
We drove out to the Manastash Ridge Trailhead on Cove Road near Ellensburg to hike up Manastash Ridge and enjoy the wildflowes. We hiked up the Westberg Trail, hiked along the Hanso Pond Road westward for a short ways, then returned and came down the Boy Scout Trail. Our route was about 5 miles and 1,700 ft of overall gain. Beautiful day!
Lots of balsamroot in bloom

Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve
Today I drove to the Mima Mounds Natural Area Preseve near Littlerock WA and hiked the trails through the mounds. The camas is in bloom along with other spring flowers. I didn't see any other walkers until I was back to the trailhead. Views of some of the wildflower filled mounds
