First summit of the season: ✅

Pulled into a random sno-park last week and spontaneously picked a trail off the map. Wrote about the experience on my blog. Adventure is out there!

This winter’s first snowfall in Seattle has me thinking back to this magical hike I took in BC right after the first snowfall of the season along the sea to sky highway. ❄️

Do you wanna build a snowman? ⛄️ 🎶

Every adventure calls for an adventure buddy! 🙌🏽🎒

Often times removing oneself from the surroundings of daily life is all that's necessary to realize how insignificant our daily "problems" are. Not only do the Painted Hills feel like a departure from daily life - they feel like a departure from this planet. 🌏 👽
