Scenic Hot Springs WA

This update is a bit delayed but worth the blog! When will arrived back from Switzerland I had a we adventure planned for us our friend Ryan had told me about some natural hot springs close to stevens pass ( something Will and I have been looking the last 3 season we have been to WA) so i was super excited did my research an found it was an easy hr an half hike up to the spring which was at around 4000 feet so as high as the stevens pass car park the hike was all snow there was a boot pack so it wasnt to hard we hiked with our boards an took a we romantic picnic it was a really special time <3 well worth the hike its an amazing spot!

one of the pools was about 42 degrees an the other about 30 so perfect for a long soak  








we had such a good time up there it started to get dark on us riding back to the truck!

Anderson Creek

The last couple of weeks have been fun, I am still in Seattle heading back up to Canada in the next day or two.
I have been on a few adventures in the area spring has started to kick in so weather has been up an down not many sunny days yet still some sweet spring pow days.
We had an amazing sunny day a week or so ago Greg myself and 3 of his friends Matt, Chirs and Christina went snowmobiling to a new spot up by mt Baker called Anderson creek it was nice up there we looked across at shribers the spot we usually go to when sledding up there.
looking across at mt baker as we crossed this high skinny dam on access rd              
 


                         





It was beautiful up there we had a good day checking out this new spot the snow was good in the shade an slightly baked in sun but we did a few things made a pat down which was fun hit some small pillows slashed some pow it was pretty sweet.
View of mt Baker Stunning!!
Actually there was a super close call with the matt an chris  sleds had a head on collision it was so lucky everyone was ok! Matt lost control making a highmark and was thrown off his sled free ran down the slope straight into chris an christinas sled lucky they got off in time. The sleds hit pretty hard they both still ran just got knocked up and sounded a bit louder.
