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.

Maiden Peak
Drove up to Deer Park i Olympic National Park to hike the Grand Ridge Trail to Maiden Peak and back, 7.2 miles round trip with 1,800 ft of overall gain. A cloudy day with some lovely views, We found some wildflowers and lots of fungi. The first couple of miles are through the forest with some peek a boo views of nearby peaks.
Out of the woods and onto the meadow and rocky portion of Grand Ridge, view to the southwest
Looking back to the forested section of Grand Ridge and Blue Mountain to the north
