Sun Mountain Trails: Kraule-View Ridge Loop
In Winthrop is the famous Sun Mountain Lodge. Amongst other lodge-y amenities, the lodge offers some stunning snowshoe and xc-skiing trails. We decided to check out their snowshoe trails when in Winthrop for MLK weekend.

The boyfriendo’s family recently moved to Winthrop. Knowing what an outdoor city Winthrop is year-round, I was thrilled for a chance to visit!
Chelan Butte
This Mother’s Day weekend, I again spent it with Mother Nature and Mama Boots. However, this time we were joined by my Aunt for a flower-filled hike in Chelan!
A Tale of Two Winthrops, Part Two
After enjoying a beautiful sunny hike and exploring town day one in Winthrop, we planned for a longer hike (Pipestone Canyon) for day two. However, we awoke to the sound of driving rain on a metal roof and suddenly nine miles didn’t seem like a whole lot of fun.
