FitDog Friday #61 - Fairy Falls Hike

After Mr. N's paw injury and Sage's human having to make an emergency trip to California, the dogs were ready to run!

We took them out to 1000 Acres. Over by Sage's normal swimming hole, we stumbled into a bunch of ducks... and a hunter. We didn't realize at first the ducks were fake. I initially thought the guy was fishing. If you look very closely, you can pick out Mr. N and the hunter in the photo.

One of the dogs was very intrigued by the fake ducks whereas the rest of the dogs just ignored them. Mr. N decided he had to go say hello to the hunter and tried to solicit petting. I called him off immediately but I think the hunter was glad when we all left. It's a shared access space but normally they hunt further afield. There are a ton of people and dogs that traipse through that area. Too close for my comfort!

After two hours there, we grabbed a quick lunch and headed to hike Fairy Falls. We started off at Wahkeena Falls.

Some water got on my lens

And then trudged through twelve switchbacks to reach Lemmon's Viewpoint. 

And this being the Pacific Northwest,  we saw moss everywhere.

Sage really wanted to dive into every water source we saw as usual. 

Mr. N did not think very favorably of this hike as all the waterfalls meant he got sprayed with water several times and he had to cross little creeks several times. As you can tell, he is not a water fan. Thus fewer Mr. N photos. 

Despite all the aquatic obstacles, we reached Fairy Falls. Do you see any fae?
