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.

Robinson Canyon
We drove out to the L T Murray Wildlife Area near Ellensburg to hike in Robinson Canyon. We combined roads and trails to make a lollipop loop to see the abundant wildflowers in bloom, about 5 miles with 800 ft of overall gain. 
Beautiful pine forest filled with flowers, some views along our route:

Iron Bear
We drove to the Iron Creek Trailhead off of FSR 120 in the eastern Teanaways to hike up to Iron Bear via the Iron Bear and Teanaway Ridge Trails, 6.3 miles round trip with 1,500 ft of gain. It was a beautiful day with lots of wildflowers in bloom!
About 2 miles up the trail, we turned to the right and continued up the Teanaway Ridge Trail, as we crossed the ridge, we had a nice view of Mt Rainier and saw many bitterroot flowers in bloom.
Up on Iron Bear we had great views and found some steerhead flowers in bloom
