Tranquil on this day but you can see by the erosion on the far bank that the Snoqualmie River can raise its hackles when it wants to.
I'll update the map as soon as I figure out where the heck I was, I can tell you that it is one of many trailheads you'll pass on the way to Garfield Ledges and that I was drawn to it by a pyramid of a peak that is off to the right of this, you'll know it when you see it, haven't found out its name either...
From a recent hike out near Bessemer Mountain in North Bend, Washington. This area was ravaged by a mudslide but seems to be in recovery mode. If anything, it seemed to have helped pull the natural red/orange colors out of the underlying rocks.

Took this about a month ago off WA-18 near North Bend, Washington. That was the day after a big snow storm and the folks at my delivery in Kent took the day off. So I dropped the loaded trailer at our drop yard in Pacific, grabbed an empty trailer and then picked up a new loan at a different shipper and headed to Spokane.
I love this area, the trees are huge and almost create a tree canyon. This was a one handed point and shoot, easy to do with my camera always beside me.
Any help on the id of this hawk? It was seen in southwest Ohio at Shawnee Lookout, a Hamilton County park near North Bend, Ohio.
Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling through this beautiful area and still not where I set out to go I decided that I'd dine when I got to the train trestle (which if you tilt your head up 45 degrees you'll see) :-) and then I came upon this...... There is a downed tree similar to this wonderful fellow on which to sit and this is the view. Man I love it here. :-)
blow it up and stay a while, lots to see.
The Conde B. McCullough Memorial Bridge, is a cantilever bridge that spans Coos Bay on U.S. Route 101 near North Bend, Oregon. The bridge replaced ferries that had formerly crossed the bay. It is outstanding for its attention to form and detail, and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its design and cultural and economic importance.
Historic steam locomotive 928 sits on the tracks as engineers ready it for one of its weekend runs between North Bend and Snoqualmie Falls, WA. The locomotive is one of the artifacts in the Northwest Railroad Musuem in Snoqualmie. Locomotive 924 was a product of the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works, and is a light switcher with an 0-6-0 wheel arrangement. It was built in 1899 for the St Paul and Duluth in Minnesota, but by 1901 it was under ownership of the Northern Pacific Railway and was reassigned to the Puget Sound region. It served in Western Washington until 1923 and went on to serve the Inland Empire Paper Company near Spokane.
My jaw dropped seeing this scene unfolding. I quickly pulled my camera out of my backpack and was only about to get about 2-3 shots in a 30 second span before the light ray disappeared. So pretty to see in person!

As most of you know I haven't had a day off in quite some time, however working at the Bank Of America last weekend came with some perks! :-)
North Bend, WA has some of the best scenery around as it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful peaks in the state, Mount Si being one of them. This is a tight shot through the clutter of the town depicting one of the toughest routes up or down the mountain, Black Canyon. It's a bear crawl scramble up and a dangerous ski route down, but it's been done. (not by me, I took the bunny trail up last year.) :-) It's a beautiful mountain from all sides and a place that I need to explore more. Please forgive the hand held, I was working at the time... :-)

This morning I visited North Bend an area across from Boston Bar on the Fraser River. It was very birdy, lots of warblers and other small birds including Lazuli Buntings. Having neither great hearing or eye sight I missed a lot but it still was a lot of fun to see and hear.

Snow in the Seattle area created a few problems Monday morning, my delivery in Kent fell through, the customer stayed home. So, after waiting three hours my company let me drop of the trailer at our Pacific yard, and I went back to Kent for a load to Boise. Made it as far as North Bend, not far, not far at all. Chains required beyond there, and my company doesn't want us to chain up, they'd rather pay us to wait. So I went to the TA truck stop, of course no parking left, so I went to the shoulder of the eastbound on-ramp and parked for the evening. It was starting to get dark, but wanted to get a picture of the mountains and storm clouds, bumped the ISO up and used my steering wheel to help steady my camera, then snap, snap. Took off this morning but only made it to Pendleton, Oregon. I-84 was completely shutdown, so here I am until tomorrow, and Boise???? Hopefully!!!!
Here's a link to the mountains directly behind the TA, check it out if you want, I'm not going to officially post it.

Winter is making its entrance early this year. The golden leaves have not fallen yet and snow is accumulating in the higher elevations. Cold rain is punishing the lower elevations.
A true hidden gem! Vortex Falls has been on my bucket list for a long time and I finally made a visit to this off-trail beauty. Located near North Bend, Washington.

A gloomy, foggy morning hiking trail is where I like to be! Located near Bessemer Mountain outside of North Bend, Washington.

A rare sunny day, crisp, cool air and an overnight snow dusting made these mountains shine in North Bend, Washington earlier today.
