When the weather gets nicer, this hike becomes very popular (I hear it can get crowded these days), it is a great spot to hit with the kids to cool off. Its the Denny Creek Hike and Natural Waterslides.

It is a great option for families, as the hike is fairly easy and the payoff is great! It has been a couple of years since I have made it up here, and I have heard that weekends are when it gets most crowded, so if you can make it happen during the week - that might be ideal!

When hiking, the early bird gets the face full of spider webs. Bring a tall friend and let them lead.

You are the tall friend? Awkward. Across the country, thousands of miles of hiking trails are waiting for you to explore, each one offering its own views, surprises, and occasional “surprise brush with nature.” Remember, planning and preparation are key to staying safe and making the most of the journey. Check your gear, know your route, stay hydrated, and stay alert out there.

Umm… there’s something on your back.
