As with last weeks post, I have been digging through the archives to find captures that I have not done anything with. That being said, we are jumping back to 2013 in North Bend, Washington. North Bend is on the western side of the Cascade Mountain Range just east of Seattle. The town is nestled in a beautiful valley and is home to numerous hiking trails and some pretty intense ones at that.
Todays captures come from two different trails, the first one is called Little Si and is rated low to intermediate.
HIking – Little Si 1
I miss the lushness of the Pacific Northwest woods…….
Hiking Little Si 2
I love the way the sun was shining through the forest canopy on these moss covered boulders.
Hiking – Little Si 3
The next three captures are from the Twin Falls trail. I have shared numerous shots of the falls, but nothing from the trail to get to them.
Hiking – Twin Falls 1
The trail follows the river winding its way to a lookout of the two falls upstream.
Hiking – Twin Falls 2
Again, the sheer beauty of the forest…..
Hiking – Twin Falls 3
From my perspective going through these archives brought a welcome respite from being sequestered in our home for the foreseeable future. Hope this finds you and yours healthy!! Be well and hope you enjoyed the hike!!

These are really nice, Kirt. I cycled through Washington State several years ago and was impressed with how lush the vegetation is in your forests.
Even with the lush vegetation, I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of annoying bugs. I grew up in the Midwest where your lush woods came with mosquitoes and company. And we obviously don’t have anything like that here in Southern California! Stay safe and be well!!
I envy you. Here we get the black flies just as the weather gets warm.
Nice captures! And the lushness of the area is greatly captured!
Beautiful area!
Thanks Nancy! Nothing quite like the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for stopping by!! Keep safe and keep well!
I love the images and reminders of the amazing lushness of the Northwest forests. Sometimes the earthy smell was invigorating, sometimes it was almost putrid! 🙂 Thanks for sharing Kirt!
There certainly isn’t any hiking like that here in LA! 😎
Nope!
Thanks for stopping by Brad!! Be safe and be well!!
I too love the Pacific Northwest and the lush forests. Some great captures. Take care and stay well. xo

Excellent.

A pure delight to wander in nature with you Kirt. Such simple pleasures now like treasures. I could almost smell the scents of the forest.
We are doing well, safe at home and sending best wishes to you and your family.
Glad you enjoyed the hike, Sue! Stay well and my best to you and your family!!
Beautiful captures Kirt! I have hiked in the Pacific Northwoods too and think the forests are just beautiful with all the huge trees, moss, ferns and lichen.
Thanks for stopping by Denise!! The hiking is spectacular and the trails are so well maintained!! Glad you enjoyed the hiking break!!
What a beautiful hike, Kirt. Virtually, we can go anywhere, any-when. Thanks for leading this one. I especially liked the boulder with moss. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks Teagan!! It keeps me from going stir crazy pulling up the archives!! Thanks for stopping by!!
These are beautiful photos, Kirt! It definitely makes me want to get back up there again!
It is truly my most favorite hiking country and they maintain the trails so well!! Thanks for stopping by….hope all is well in beautiful San Diego!!
Thank you for the virtual ‘green’ , eco 🙂
My pleasure…my favorite hiking country…not quite the same here in LA! Thanks for stopping by!
Lovely! Things are starting to green up here, so maybe I’ll hike out to the wild areas of our property to get a fern fix of my own. Hope you’re staying safe and well!
We are doing well…enjoy those lush forests!!!
These are great. Kirt. I’ve hiked in those areas, but not for a long time. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories.
For you and me both although my hiking time there has obviously been more recent than yours! Next trip up, I plan on revisiting some of those trails!
Beautiful images, Kirt and so inviting.. I wish I were there myself!
I so love hiking in the Pacific Northwest!! Thanks for stopping by…much appreciated!
Lovely shots Kirt. What a beautiful place. You’ll (we’ll) all be out and about before long, although probably longer than we are hoping for, but it will happen. Stay safe my friend 🙂
We just passed the three week mark and I’m thinking the entire month of April. Be safe and well!!
Me too. At least another 3 weeks
Really beautiful and a perfect captivation for Spring and Summer. This is the type of art that should be in all public places so to inspire people to relax.🤔
Thank you very much! It works for me!!
Great captures!
Thank you very much!!!
Awesome pictures!! Now is definitely a great time to review past trips and reminisce 🙂
I so agree! Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback! Much appreciated!

WONDER—WITHIN THE LENGTH OF A WALK IN THE WOODS! ❤
Thanks for the reblog Jonathan!!
Yowsa!
These are great Is this stuff on a trail? Or you a trail blazer?
They are all on really well maintained trails…I gave up rambling through the woods on my own years ago….there’s critters I don’t want to run into😀
I understand that. It’s good you can see so much from the trails
Very nice light capture over the big slabs on Little Si trail. I just wish it was open but until then we have great blogs like yours to look through. 😀👍
Thank you very much and thanks for stopping by!! I miss the hiking and the peacefulness of the forest!! Stay well!!
The PNW sure is something isn’t it? I think you’re inspiring me to go through old and unused pics of when I lived in Italy several years ago! It’s important to remember and share the beauty that we noticed in those little moments.
I so agree….thank you very much for stopping by!!

I also very much enjoyed going back through my archives to find photos which otherwise would not be seen by many – all taken before I started my blog. The images brought back happy memories. I guess it doesn’t matter if the images are current as long as they tell a good story! 😊
I agree!!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Thanks for stopping by! I hear you….we live in Los Angeles, so I love the times we get up to Seattle area as I love hiking in those woods!!
Nice!
