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.

Bench Lake and Snow Lake
We did two short hikes along the Stevens Canyon Road at Mt Rainier National Park today. First, we hiked the Bench Lake/Snow Lake Trail, 2 miles round trip with about 600 feet of overall gain. 
This trail goes through both meadows and forest. We found a few wildflowers in bloom and lots of ripe huckleberries
View overlooking Bench Lake, we decided not to go down to the lake, as there would be no mountain reflection in it on this cloudy day.
Beautiful blue Snow Lake
