We went hiking up in the North Cascades (not far from the North Cascades National Park) to Maple pass. The hike was a great day hike with some pretty mountains and lakes. We took along Rex, a foster dog from the shelter who is being fostered. Rex is about 6 months, so still a puppy. He's a shepherd/pit bull mix (or something he doesn't really act like a pit bull). We had a great time, though the descent was hard on the knees.
