Week 83 Apr. 1 - Point Defiance

Total Distance: Approximately 8 miles
Elevation Gain: Approximately 300 ft.
Time: 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Weather: Mostly sunny, with a bit of light rain.

So in September of 2010, when I decided to hike every weekend, I told myself I could use Point Defiance park only once.  Well, week 83 was the week that I finally cashed it in.  I was tired, and my car has been needing some maintenance.  So I drove the twenty minutes from my driveway to the city park that overlooks the Puget Sound.  I walked the inner loop trail, and found myself, at times, lost in an old and second growth forrest that as somehow been preserved.  I got back to the car, and decided to reverse direction and hike the outer loop.  I have walked these trails before, but only now did I truly see how lucky I am to live in a city with a park like this.

Orchid: The lovely weather.

Onion: The constant city noise.
