Short hike in the Miyagase Dam area. From Toriibara Fureai House parking lot the trail goes to the two peaks. You could hike all the way to Aikawa Park and then take a boat ride back but today we stopped at Minami Mountain and headed back the way we came. Some fall colors but peak season is still weeks away.

Beautiful sunny skies made for great fall colors. Views of Mt. Fuji did not disappoint as well. Fairly warm for November but a great day out on the trails today. Nice to beat the upcoming 3 day weekend crowds.

Went to Tomin no mori (都民の森) on the edge of Tokyo in search of fall colors. Sun was out in full force when we started around 10:30 but the clouds began rolling in soon after. Still we were rewarded with view views of Mt. Fuji and some gorgeous fall colors. Heard some grouse but did not see them.

Peak probably has not hit yet but with cooler temps and dry weather fall colors should last another couple of weeks.

Headed out to Nishi Tanzawa to escape the heat. Beautiful clear water with 3 great waterfalls. A good hike to escape the heat.

More walking than hiking at this close to home city park. Site of an old castle with some decent views at the top. Several trails on this mountain but several are closed due to mudslides that occurred last summer. Not crowded at all on this winter weekday.

Beautiful day on the trail today. Started around 10AM and it was hot, at least hot for us Pacific Northwest folks. Sunny skies and great scenery made up for it. First section actually has some shaded sections as you make your way up the wash. Saw a few people but once we were on the Cowpies trail we only saw one group. Had the saddle to ourselves for a nice long lunch. Saw a few other people along the Munds Wagon trail on our return after coming down the Hangover trail. We did this lasso loop counter clockwise. Saw a few geckos but that was it for wildlife. Was surprised to see some wildflowers as well as some pockets of water today. This continues to be one of our favorite Sedona hikes!

Beautiful day up on the mountain. Smoke wasn't too bad unless you were looking off to the southeast. Saw marmots, chipmunks, grouse and one bear! Fall colors are starting to arrive. A fair number of people on the trail today but still less crowded than a summer weekend. Just a short section of one lane traffic on SR706 but the wait was less than a minute each time. Parking at the main Paradise lot was still available when we arrived around 9:30AM. While fall colors may be coming out, it felt more like summer. Hot and dusty along the trail which has very few shady spots. But we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Great day on the trail today. Saw our first coyote? while hiking. Totally cool. Views were great if not a little smokey/hazy. Also saw the regulars -- grouse, squirrels and chipmunks. Plenty of bear scat but no bears. 4 cars at the trailhead when we got there and we saw maybe 12 people total. Hiking on a weekday has its perks.

Beautiful day up at Sunrise. Ran into construction delays on 410 but really only wait once, for maybe 10 minutes. On our way home after 4PM no construction was on-going. Saw some goats and tons of chipmunks today but no bears or marmots. Hiked up to third Burroughs and made a lasso loop by hanging a right at first Burroughs on our return. Just under 9.5 miles so it was definitely a good workout. A fair number of people out on the trail but it never felt crowded. Trail is dusty, dusty, dusty but otherwise in good shape. A nice breeze kept temps just about right and helped keep the bugs away.

Somewhat overcast day but there was a nice breeze so it wasn't too hot out there. Lots of people out on the trail today but it really didn't feel crowded. Trail is dusty but overall in good shape. Even with the overcast still had views of Seattle and the Olympics.

Seven years since I last did this hike so it was the first time since the fire that I'd been up here. Started from the Dalles Ridge trailhead. Road was rough in places but overall not too bad. Wildflowers are probably past their peak but still plentiful. Burned out sections are full of flowers and give you good views of the mountain. Saw a few people out on the trail including a couple of forest service employees doing trail maintenance (thanks!). Also ran into one hunter doing some scouting for deer season which opens up the first week in October. Apparently bear season has already started so be aware that you could encounter hunters in this area. Views from the top were great. No bugs and temps weren't bad either.

Short on time today we opted for this close to home hike. This trail is known for its muddy sections but not at this time of the year. Trail was pretty much bone-dry for the entirety. We skipped lower falls but visited middle and upper falls. Continued up past upper falls and took the logging roads back for a lasso loop that came out at around 7.5 miles. Middle falls were nice although a lot less water than our last trip in June. Creek near upper falls was low enough to use stepping stones to cross and get right up to the base. A fair amount of people on the trail today and I imagine the afternoon will be even more crowded as the parking lot was full when we left just before noon. Berries are out.

Took a break from Mt. Rainier National Park and headed out to Goat Creek which is a little southeast of Morton. Cathedral Falls was only a trickle but there were several smaller falls along the trail. Plus this trail had lots of solitude. Some peak-a-boo views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. Wildflowers were out and there were some good patches of berries as well. Saw 5 people for the first 5.5 hours of our hike. Saw a couple more groups toward the end but for the most part we had the trail to ourselves.

Bluebird day on the mountain. Had a 30 minute wait getting into the park around 9AM. Line was 2 miles long when we left in the afternoon! We hiked from Narada Falls up to Paradise then took the Golden Gate trail up to Skyline. Then over to the Lakes trail and down to Reflection Lakes. From there we took the Wonderland trail back to Narada Falls. A nice little loop. We prefer to do this loop clockwise as it gets the majority of the climbing done first. As expected, Paradise was a zoo overflowing with people. Skyline trail was jammed pack. We found periods of solitude on the Lakes trail which was nice. A few snow patches on the Skyline trail and while slippery, they didn't provide too troublesome. Other trails were in pretty good condition if not a little dusty. No bears today but we saw several marmots, deer, and grouse along our journey today. Flowers may not be at peak but were plentiful. Note that the regular restrooms are closed at Narada Falls but port-a-potties are available.

Sunny and hot day called for a hike with ample shade so we hiked from Longmire up to Narada Falls and then over to Reflection Lakes. Falls were beautiful. A slight breeze at reflection lakes so no reflection but the wind helped keep the bugs at bay while we ate a leisurely lunch so that was a plus. Trails were in good condition if not a little dusty in places. Lots of people out on the trails today but there were periods of solitude as well. Saw a deer right on the trail where the Narada Falls trail branches to Reflection Lakes. Another great day on the mountain.

Took a chance and headed up to Eagle Peak Saddle today. Got some partial views of the mountain but nothing like we had last year on our first visit. Still we had a great day. Saw a marmot up close and personal on the way down. Then saw a group of 5 deer along the trail as well. Young ones were playing around and running in circles while the adult deer were content to keep eating away. A fair number of people on the trail today but it didn't feel too crowded. Hard to find solitude on a day hike in the park during peak tourist season. Still a fair amount of snow in the section before the final switchbacks up the meadow toward the saddle. A fair number of boot tracks but I find it handy to have my GPS to keep going in the right direction. Plus it helped that we had hiked this trail last fall so we were somewhat familiar with it. Lots of bear grass and avalanche lily out along the trail. All in all, a nice day out hiking.
