The original Sunday plan was to go to the Mariners game, but as Sunday rolled around the thought of a two and half hour car ride, dealing with parking and crowds and another two and a half hours back wasn't sounding so appealing. I asked the kids if they still wanted to go, and they preferred being home. We got up early wanting to get some fresh air and take Kaiser out, off to Smithbrook trailhead we were heading, oops a little too much snow. Still a few more weeks until the road is drive able. Not wanting to miss being out we turned towards Leavenworth, only problem is you can't have dogs in the Alpine Lakes region so we went further up the icicle to the Icicle Gorge trail.
I think this was the last time the kids were there, fall of 2005 ages 3 and 8
Today a bit older, we started with a walk and quickly realized this trail is even more enjoyable as a trail run. It's a perfect trail for beginning hikers that just want to get out, be safe and see a gorgeous setting. Fabulous for kids, for trail runners it is perfect (a little short, but you could always do a few loops).
Indian paintbrushes are my favorite, like a little treat on the trail!
Love him
Post run
Kaiser thought this was about the best thing ever
