Gold Creek hike

Rebecca, Ruby, Lance and I went hiking near Snoqualmie Pass this Saturday. We went to Gold Creek trail, off of exit 54 on I-90. It was a perfect day for a hike, really sunny and not terribly hot. The trail follows along Gold Creek the whole way. At 4 miles, it crosses over the creek and that is where we stopped for lunch and turned around.

Here is the very beginning of the trail, you can see Alaska mountain in the background with snow still on it.



The trail is in a valley, and there were some nice waterfalls on the cliffs above. Here are the two most impressive ones, in the order in which we came upon them.




We stopped when the trail crossed the creek and had lunch. And took several pictures. Here is Rebecca sitting on a rock in the middle of the river looking very zen like.



Here is Rebecca and Ruby in a few shots....




Here is Ruby in stick fetching action, she really loves all hikes that are along rivers.



Here is Lance waiting for me to accidentally drop my sandwich.



Here is Lance and Ruby training to steal my sandwich.



This view is looking up the creek from our lunch spot



And this last picture taken at the lunch spot is an artsy one looking down through the water at the rocks.



The wild flowers were coming out along the whole trail.
