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.

Snow Mountain Ranch
We drove out to the Snow Mountain Ranch Trailhead of the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy (west of Yakima WA) to see the wildflowers in bloom. We did a 6.3 mile loop out of several trails with 1,150 ft of overall gain. We took the entry trail up to the Wildflower Trail, continuing on up the Cowiche Mountain Trail West, then down the Cowiche Mountain Trail east and the Ditch Bank Trail to the Balanced Rock Trail, then back partway on the Ditch Bank Trail and returned to the trailhead.
