"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord." Proverbs 21:31.
We were in western Washington for a short visit to see our son and his family and hiked with them and with friends to Racehorse Falls. We hiked in through some logged areas and had very hard going of it. We did, however, see not only the main falls but also Upper Racehorse Falls and Triple Crown Falls, all along Racehorse Creek.
Upper Falls
But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven. Deuteronomy 11:11.
Early in May we hiked one of our favorite trails, the Ray Westberg Trail to the top of Manastash Ridge. Manastash is a fifty mile long ridge in central Washington near the city of Ellensburg. It runs mostly west to east and we hiked up the south side of the ridge. The trail is a wonderful place for wildflowers and birds. We hiked down via the Ridge Nose Trail, a side trail that reconnects with the main trail.
