Last weekend Tom & I decided to go hiking (since it's one of our few one-handed activities these days) and brought along Nikole (our guest) and our friend Breanna. We opted for a couple of easy hikes to get us warmed up for the season, but were a bit delayed getting out of town because we mistakenly ended up on the same route out of town as a bike race so didn't complete the second one (but it will be excellent for the folks when they make it to town!). The first hike was Hailstone Butte, a 4km round-trip with only 327 m of elevation that ended with a fire look-out. Our guide book was a bit confused on the location of the trailhead and actually sent us route-finding up a bit of a harder hill that tacked on some difficulty and time, although we found the trail on the way out and it was much easier.
... but if we hadn't gone that way we probably wouldn't have noticed this lovely fold!
The fire look-out on top of Hailstone Butte; much newer than the one on Mt. Burke that we visited last year and in much better condition!
