Steve & Jean visit Snoqualmie - October 2009

We started our visit with a short hike in Olallie State Park near us.

It was cool and crisp and the leaves were turning color!

The river was running low and it was nice to be able to walk on the riverbottom next to the cold, clear water.

Jim is now off to Chicago for 3 days. What a nice way to treat company! ( :


So Steve & Jean and I headed off to Leavenworth, WA. A cute little Bavarian town.

The color was awesome!

We had a fun day strolling around and doing some shopping.
We drove back through Wenatchee where the mountains are brown, enjoying the fall colors, apple orchards, grapes etc. and then across the Columbia River and back into the green mountains.

The next day we took a hike to Twin Falls.

The yellow leaves behind the green moss were breathtaking. The pictures just don't do it justice. Most enjoyable!

Jean made it all the way to the falls! Good for her!!
