Sunday, June 3: Chukanut

Today, my brother decided to take me hiking to a place nearby called Chukanut Mountains. It was 8 miles roundtrip and we went up to a place called Raptor Ridge, a rock ledge at the top of one of the hill-mountains. It was a really enjoyable hike since I’m always fascinated by how tall the trees are and how green everything is here in the northwest. 
 There was a 10-mile trail race that day with some amazing runners. There were women and men not only running uphill at a pretty good pace, but a lot of them were just chatting away while they raced to the top. I, on the other hand, seem to be too accustomed to Kansas flat and so I was tired sore the next day, but in a good way.
