Day one included a wonderful hike to glorious Blue Lake, check in at the Inn, followed by the traditional Hiker Chicks Happy Hour, dinner, and a guest speaker who shared a great deal of knowledge about Lark trees and so much more.\u00a0 On the second day we broke into three groups and tackled Maple Pass Loop, Heather Meadows, or Cutthroat Trail.\u00a0 All reported back at Happy Hour that they had wonderful experiences, including a bear sighting in close proximity.\u00a0 Dinner was delicious, followed by hikers recounting many wonderful and very funny stories from past retreats. Needless to say, we can&#8217;t wait for next year!! \u00a0 Organizing a retreat is on volunteer basis, so please come forward if you are willing, other hikers are always willing to join the efforts to plan a retreat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2581\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Blue-Lake-Sept.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2581\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2581 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Blue-Lake-Sept.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lunch at Blue Lake<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2585\" style=\"width: 3274px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2585\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2585 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"1836\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Loop-gang-of-nine-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Top of Maple Pass &#8211; We made it!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2594\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Meadows.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2594\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2594 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Meadows.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Meadows.jpeg 640w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Meadows-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Maple-Pass-Meadows-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hiking up the colorful meadows of Maple Pass<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2583\" style=\"width: 4042px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2583\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2583 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2268\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018.jpg 4032w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/whatcomwomenwalkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Larch-Retreat-Group-Pic-Sept-2018-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hiking Retreat Sept 2018<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hiker Chicks traveled to the Freestone Inn in Mazama for our 11th hiking retreat.\u00a0 The timing couldn&#8217;t have been better&#8230;. we had perfect hiking weather under clear, sunny skies!
