After Sunday's brief hike in Forest Park, we set out for a longer hike up north in Washington State: Ape Canyon in the south eastern part of the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.
As we started hiking fairly early (~8:30 am) and given that it was a Monday, we had the trail pretty much to ourselves (we came across just one other hiker in the first 2 hours) and enjoyed the piece and quiet as well as a lot of spectacular views of Mount St. Helen and its surroundings.
Pepper was a bit of a straggler at first. However, after removing his harness, it became obvious that he was just playing us: without the harness, Pepper suddenly had all the energy of the world to explore his new surroundings...
Good times!
