Yet again, I was faced with a choice to watch Tom Brady in yet another super bowl or to opt outside. No-brainer!

Trying the Ozette Triangle
Coastal hiking is a ubiquitous Washington activity for the outdoorsy–and the Ozette Triangle is a gem of a hike or backpacking destination.
Padilla Bay
Ahh, Washington. You can pick a date and a hike weeks in advance, and then days before with rampant flooding all around, you get to scramble for a backup. Ain’t it grand?
Urban Hiking: Discovery Park
Seattle’s largest park has tons to offer: a beachside lighthouse, sandy dunes, grassy fields, and forests of trees! Not to mention native, army, and musical history!
Shinglemill Creek
The holidays came quick this year, despite the late Thanksgiving. I mean, they really snuck up on me! But I still had plans to #OptOutside on Black Friday and spend my day outdoors.
Quick Hikes at Point Reyes National Seashore
This June, Mama Boots and I embarked on a road trip from San Francisco to Bend. Our first stop was the gem of Point Reyes National Seashore located only about an hour from SF!
Cape Disappointment State Park
Cape Disappointment State Park, located in southwest Washington, has miles of paved and unpaved trails. For Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to hit those trails!
Dockton Forest
Despite living in the greater Seattle area nearly my whole life, I have never been to Vashon Island. That changed this weekend when I hopped on the ferry from West Seattle to hit some snow-free trails!
Welcome to Serenity
Look. Hiking in Washington is awesome. It really is. There are dozens of hikes one can point to as their favorite. But it is hard to top Dungeness Spit.
