As hustle bustle of daily school routine was just a week away we made no big plans for the long Labor Day weekend. It was supposed to be lazy weekend of chilling at home and catching up on Marvel movies. The weather however played a spoilsport to our plans, Sunday turned out to be a gorgeously warm day. After having lived in Seattle for over 5 years we now know better to make hay while sun shines. The guilt of…

Visiting the Glacier national park Montana has been one unforgettable experience. You can catch our onward road trip journey details here. The sheer grandness of the jagged snow capped mountain peaks, the numerous cascading waterfalls, the sparkling green-blue hued lakes, the grizzly bears and the iconic Going-to-the-sun road among many other things is why this park is rightly called the Crown of the Continent. Cool fact:Glacier national park along with bordering Waterton national park in Canada was designated as world’s…

Right in the middle of the Bellevue city,Washington just 30 minutes drive from our home lies one of the easiest,fun,scenic kid friendly trail called the Bellefields Loop Trail. We did this trail the evening before we went on the RattleSnake Trail. The Bellefields trails lies in the 320-acre Mercer Slough Nature Park and it loops through upland forest and scrub-shrub wetland,a scenic gift for those tired eyes. The Mercer Slough is Lake Washington’s largest remaining wetland and home to to…
No,this wasn’t an easy hike by any standards,even the seasoned hikers on this trail can be found taking breaks and resting those legs as they ascend towards the Rattlesnake ledge for the breathtaking panoramic view of mountains and the gorgeous rattlesnake lake. The hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge is a sharp 1.9 miles ascend gaining a total of 1143 feet in elevation. From there, the trail goes another 3 miles on Rattlesnake Mountain, with scenic viewpoints all along the way….

On a warm wet spring afternoon of Mother’s day we completed the second hike of 2021-Coal Creek Falls!An easy and shorter hike than Wallace falls,I for one enjoyed the hike more than the water falls on this one trail.Narrow muddy trail in the midst of the evergreen trees and delightful bird songs as we hiked towards the waterfalls was really the highlight of Mother’s Day.
Washington is known for its greenery and trails.On any warm day you’ll find trails thronged with hiker, young, old and even kids.With a bucket list of hikes to complete there are those who hike throughout the year,even in peak winters!
