Lone Pine Loop
We went to Lone Pine State Park to get a training hike in. We did a three mile loop around the exterior of the park starting at the bottom. This is a fantastic hike with some beautiful views overlooking the Flathead Valley. If you want to avoid bikers while hiking here, stay on the southern most trails as they are not allowed on that side of the park.
Frosty Birthday
West Shore
Went down to West Shore State Park to catch ‘sunset’…. Conditions did not cooperate, but it was fun hiking the shoreline with no one else around.

A Weekend in Spokane
We got out of town for a weekend in the ‘Big City’, at least for us. We spent a couple of days exploring all the sights in downtown Spokane as well as a quick trip to Palouse Falls.

American Southwest
Day one started early before sunrise at the Doubletree in Grand Junction, Colorado. We drove 20 miles via the west entrance to Grand View overlooking Independence Monument. We arrived around 6:30 am, waiting for some morning light on a brisk morning.
Moab
We drove over the mountains to the Moab area to check out the sights and surroundings. What an amazing place to visit. We drove in through Cisco, a somewhat abandoned town before crossing the Colorado River near the historic Dewey Bridge. Stops included Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park Island in the Sky District, and Dead Horse Point State Park.
