After what has felt like years of begging him for more backpacking trips, the boyfriendo finally initiated a trip on his own!
Olympic Peninsula
Skol to Poulsbo Breweries!
As I mentioned last week, my cousin recently moved to Poulsbo, WA. I decided to pay him, and some of the breweries there, a visit!
Port Gamble Forest
Usually, when I plan a hike, I pick the hike first, and brewery or other stops on the way home second. This weekend, I flipped that script!
101 Brewery
After limping back down Mt. Townsend, I needed beer (and ice, and ibuprofen). Luckily, a few miles from the forest road was 101 Brewery in Quilcene!
Mount Townsend
Once I returned from my awesome Cali roadtrip in June, I knew I had to buckle down and hit the trails to prepare for an August summit of Mount St. Helens. Next up was one of the areas most-loved conditioning hikes–Mount Townsend.
Lower Gray Wolf River
Sometimes, a hike is more about the activity than the destination. Some hikes offer thrilling views at the end, others offer views along the way and just…come to a stop. It sounds anti-climactic, but can still offer some great time in nature.
