Chain Lakes

At the end of August we hiked with our friends, the Carpenters, up at Mt. Baker. We did about 5.5 miles of the loop with 3 kids. We saw wild pheasants, marmots and pikas. The pikas (little rodents) were fun to listen to along the way, they sounded like squeaker toys. I think this was my favorite hike of the summer, the change of scenery was beautiful even though it was mostly cloudy (blocked the mountain views). We did have a few breaks of sunshine along with rain & mist. A sunny day would make for a gorgeous hike, maybe next year :)
