If you ever happen to be wandering up US Highway 2, just west of Stevens Pass in Washington state, you will come across a small roadside rest area known as Deception Falls. There is a small picnic area and the normal comfort stations, but what keeps me coming back a few times a year is the wonderful one and a half mile walking trail where you can enjoy massive 200 foot tall, ancient growth Western Red Cedars, Douglas Firs and Western Hemlocks as well as beautiful ferns, plants and wildflowers which change with the seasons.

That's where Shadow and I spent our day today!
