Elsie went hiking June 23, 2014 5 miles 500 feet gained
First hike in two months due to a busted knee - it did okay on this lovely and gradually graded trail to Owl Point. Awesome views of Helen's, Adams, and Rainier from Alki Pt, and stellar view of Hood from Owl Pt. Bluebird day and hit just a few remaining patches of snow halfway in - will be gone in days, surely. The long drive is also lovely, despite spending more time in the car than on the actual trail. Sadly, knee still needs some rehab work.
