A Short Story: Hamilton Butte 11-9-25

Sometimes everything works out, the stars align, and a secret plan made months ago works out better than you could ever hope for. As we go into the New Year, I wanted to share our turning of a new leaf and our final ride together of the season. Last March, I took the first step in my plan by buying her a KX 100, and now riding will forever be a part of our story. From us to all of you watching, thank you for tuning in, and we hope to see you all on the trails next season! Happy New Year!

Hamilton Butte is the most beautiful spot in Washington State. It sits at 5800' in Gifford surrounded by dozens of peaks, thousands of acres of trees, smack dab in the middle of Mt. Rainier, Mt. St Helens and Mt. Adams. This trail was Faith's "final boss" with the whole season preparing Faith for this ride. I'm very impressed with how much she has improved in her first season.
