Julie and I tried a new hike a couple of weekends ago. Hex Mountain which is near Salmon La Sac. The hike was about 6 miles and 1500 ft elev gain. Since this hike was on the east side of the mountains, I was expecting it to be a scorcher. Luckily, we had a nice breeze on most of the way up and at the top the wind was really howling. It was a beautiful hike with a 360 degree view at the top. We could see Mt Rainier, Cle Elum Lake, Ingalls/Stewart range and the range near Snoqualmie Pass. There was rumor that the trail was used by motorcycles and while we did see the tracks we never saw any motorcycles. In fact, the only people we saw on the trail was one other group of four people that we passed on our way down almost at the trail head. So we had the hike all to ourselves which is always great.
