Darin and I hiked to the top of Sauer's Mountain this weekend. It's one of my favorite spring hikes - a beautiful 6-miles that's loaded with wildflowers and awesome views.
We saw a ton of different birds which was cool, because I practiced all of my bird calls while we were hiking. I really only know a few different bird calls, so I like to try them out on all different species hoping someday to find a match! Really no luck so far with that. We did see a turkey vulture; their call must be something like, "Hey! You dead yet?" But I didn't try that call out on him, so I can't say for sure. I just didn't want to use this turkey vulture as my first guinea pig.
The trail gains 1,900 feet over three miles - some parts are a bit steep - but its worth the view. When we arrived at the top, we were checking out the cool view of Leavenworth and came to the conclusion that lunch at South would most likely be the perfect pairing with the hike. Just to be sure, we tried out our theory. As it turns out, lunch at South WAS a good match!
I think we'll next try the Eight Mile Lake - Gustav's pairing. It sounds fantastic, but we'll have to try it to be sure!
great pictures! i just wish you would have shown more totem pole pictures.... love you!
