Hike Me A River

Lake 22, just off the Mountain Loop Hwy outside of Granite Falls, WA, is a good training hike.
It's beautiful, it's easily accessible, and at 2.7 miles one way it's a good test to see if you can navigate the trail and come back in one piece.
The trail is rough, and was a full on river for most of it.
Did I have my winter boots on? Mmmm, nope, but was glad for my new wool socks!
Another invitation to get out into The Great Outdoors, any way you can get there.
