Coastal hiking is a ubiquitous Washington activity for the outdoorsy–and the Ozette Triangle is a gem of a hike or backpacking destination.

First Time Backpacking Tips
Before my first time backpacking in 2017, I had many questions, most of them regarding the idea of carrying everything I needed and how much it would hurt. Luckily the boyfriendo was not a novice, but for those of you who are, here’s my tips.
Larch March to Tiffany Mountain
A larch hike…on a gorgeous WEEKEND day in October…WITHOUT crowds? They do exist!
Larch Madness at Cutthroat Pass & Lake
The larches are coming, the larches are coming! The stunning larch trees are starting to turn (or have already), so now is the time to hit the road! What are you waiting for?
Rachel Lake
With summer appearing to approach it’s final weeks, the window to hike in some areas has been rapidly closing (even before the smoke set in). To I-90 for possibly the last time in 2020 I went!
Queets Backpacking to Spruce Bottom
After what has felt like years of begging him for more backpacking trips, the boyfriendo finally initiated a trip on his own!
How to Ford a River
Last week, I had a backpacking trip with a daunting start–fording the Queets and the Sams River, no oxen. Here’s how I kept my feet wet and my wits about me!
Skyline Trail Loop at Mt. Rainier National Park
The wildflowers were calling, and I had to go! For a few weeks a year, Paradise at MRNP lives up to its name by becoming awashed with purple, yellow, red, and blue.
Watson Lake Backpacking
The 60+ hour weeks are still continuing at work, so for our own sanity, forced time off has been implemented. Twist my arm, I guess I’ll go backpacking?
Urban Hikes Washington & Meadowdale Beach Park
As I’ve said before, I love urban hikes. They are accessible year-round and some are a great way to keep in hiking shape year-round! So imagine my delight to learn Beers at the Bottom have a new hiking book out all on urban hikes in Washington!
