Trails: The Bellefields Loop Trail

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.

How do you feel after watching this video?Do you agree with the message here? I believe the message that, while the world has progressed yet some roles haven’t ,stands true for women all around the world and not just India. <Click on…

After a week long break,the girls went back to school today!

The other day a friend and I got talking about Bombay Begums, even though I didn’t enjoy the series it did highlight some very important issues specially workplace harassment/assault that women continue to face even today. As I look back now, I realize back in 2004 when we had just stepped into the corporate world we weren’t even aware of the term workplace harassment.Sadly most of us did experience one or the other form of workplace harassment but we didn’t…
