14 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Saturday I took my best friend to Ape Canyon up to the Plains of Abraham. The day was cloudy and drizzly and there was not much in the way of views, but I had a great time! While up on the Plains we got about a 20 minute window of the perfect mountain views. What an absolute treat! She had never been up there before or that close to the wonder that is St. Helens and it was awesome to watch her see it for the first time. We wandered around for a bit and then on the way back down we stopped at the rock ledge by the canyon itself and low and behold right below us was 3 mountain goats! My first time seeing mountain goats and they were amazing. only got a picture or two as they took off, but what a way to start our hike back down the canyon.
