Lake 22 was one of the most beautiful hikes we did in 2024 . The pics don’t even begin to do it justice or show just how huge the rocks are…Amazing!
This trail was not at all what I expected. With the elevation being under 2000 gained I was thinking easy but it was not. It was a great workout and the views were stunning! It was rocky which I wasn’t expecting and had some bouldering .
Definitely one of my top favs!
The stats for this trail are ⬇️
📍 Lake 22 Trail
🧭 Granite Falls, Wa
🥾 5.9 miles RT ( we came in at 8.38)
🏔️ 1446 ft elevation gain ( we gained 1526ft)
⭐️ Stats based on AllTrails and Apple

Are you ready to read a book you can’t put down? Kristin Hannah The Nightingale is it!
.
This historical fiction follows two very different sisters throughout their lives. Both sisters navigate their worlds very differently as they grapple with WW2 and the Nazi occupation of France and as they soon learn they are stronger than they could have ever imagined.
.
There are a few parts of the book that were extremely difficult to read so please be aware of that if you are sensitive. They are short but important to the story. I’m glad my friends encouraged me to finish it and skip over the one section because it was so worth it!
.
Kristin did a great job of really developing each sisters story and following them in their journey of healing as a family , fighting for others even when it meant they had to let go and bringing it all together in the end.Such a good book!!
Espresso Chalet has one of the best views of Mount Index . It was the perfect stop to grab coffee after hiking Wallace Falls & Heybrook Lookout. Both hikes are within a few miles of each other with the Espresso Chalet between them. Look for the Bigfoot and you will know you are there.
We ordered our drinks and then went to soak in some more Mountain views… amazing! Perfect place to stretch your legs and grab some drinks or snacks before heading home .
A fun fact : this was an official location from the movie Harry and the Hendersons … anyone remember that movie?

Storybook Land Canal boats is the perfect way to see some of the enchanting homes and villages from classic Disney movies that are hand- built in miniature model size using the scale of 1 inch to 1 foot.
You gently float through the whimsical landscaping with gentle music playing . Each 12 person boat has a tour guide that tells the tale behind each scene as you float by.
Just a few of the places you will see are :
✨The village of Arendelle and Elsa’s ice palace from Frozen
✨The straw, stick and brick houses from Three Little Pigs
✨The manicured London park from Peter Pan
✨The Alpine village from Pinocchio
✨The English village from Alice in Wonderland
✨The royal city of Agrabah and Cave of Wonders from Aladdin
✨Prince Eric’s palace and King Triton’s underwater castle from The Little Mermaid
✨The Cottage of the Dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs..love the sign with all their names!
✨The French countryside village and mountaintop castle from Cinderella
✨Toad Hall from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad… one of our favorite books!
This is such a beautiful ride especially as it’s getting dark when it’s all lit up, but it does close for fireworks so make sure to watch your timing to not miss it.

Our March Book Club pick was Once a Queen by Sarah Arthur.
.
Once a Queen is a fairytale fantasy that weaves real life family dynamics with magic portals , secret gatherings and magic woven tapestries. You meet 14 year Evie as she travels to England to meet a grandmother she has never met before who lives in a beautiful estate that has an intriguing staff. The staff is one we would all want if we were as privileged.
.
It starts off slow but then quickly starts to wrap you into the story as it unfolds. As the characters unfold , and the story is weaved ,and you get glimpses of the white stag, you can’t help but to start to step into the magic of the story . Definate Narnia vibes throughout that awakened my childlike faith in reading this.
.
Our bookclub enjoyed reading this and several of us are adding the other books to our list!
