Timberline Trail Day 3: More spectacular weather, water, wildflowers, and Mt Hood views. We finished up our loop (plus side trips) at just over 50 miles and 13k ft of elevation gain/loss. We got back to Ruth the van and had cold beers from one of my favorite breweries waiting for us. All in all, an absolutely fantastic trip. 👌

Timberline Trail Day 2: Barely a cloud in the sky, beautiful views of Hood from all angles, and a lovely sunset with a side of trail snacks and Yahtzee. 👌

Timberline Trail Day 1: A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of circumnavigating Mt. Hood again with one of my dearest friends. We added on a few burley (yet excellent) side trips and had fantastic weather. The wild flowers were out in full bloom and Hood was looking as glorious as ever. Here are some of my favorite shots from our first day on the trail. Photos for days two and three to come soon.

Here’s the last batch of photos from our recent Olympic National Park trip. Such an amazingly beautiful place and we feel so fortunate to have experienced parts of it that few hikers ever get to see. Now on to the next one! Gearing up for the Timberline Trail in a few days. 🤗

Distant mountain views in Olympic National Park 😍. We were treated to this lovely vista on the last day of our trek, after climbing steadily out of the valley below. The night before we camped near that tiny turquoise lake down in the valley 👌

A couple weeks ago Annie and I hiked deep into the heart of Olympic National Park on a long, gorgeous, and strenuous 6-day trek. This is one of my favorite shots from the trip during a magical, misty, moody afternoon in Upper Cameron Basin.

Lovely weekend of tent testing out by Mt Hood!
