Spring is here, in our calendars, hearts, and gear closets. Even with this year’s massive snowpack in the mountains, there’s some great lower-elevation trips and hikes soon to be carpeted with wildflowers!

Dru Bru: Cle Elum
Dru Bru at Snoqualmie Pass is a great beer stop for anyone hiking or snowshoeing near the pass. They’ve added a second location for the lucky folks in Cle Elum!
Wenatchee Crest
Finally, I got to do some snow-hiking! Although does it count if you don’t need snowshoes or even microspikes?

I still consider myself a ‘casual’ hiker and backpacker. I don’t do any trails that are too dangerous, and still have yet to do a multi-night trek. So why buy a pricy safety device?
Paradise Valley Conservation Area
For the fourth time this year, my snowshoe plans fell through. It seems I have done something to anger the outdoor gods. However, lowland parks free of avalanche danger and full of trails are in abundance here!
