πŸŒ„ Why do I hike? To escape routines, challenge myself, and reconnect with nature's magic. Each trail teaches something new, builds confidence, and creates stories worth sharing (thanks for listening, Aunt Linda πŸ˜…). What keeps you coming back to the mountains? πŸ”οΈ

#WhyHike #OptOutdoors

My Christmas present to my daughters and their dog. I cleared snow for two ice rinks on the frozen lake behind grandparents’ home. No need to buy stuff, when gifts of time and shared experiences bring joy and lifetime memories. #iceHockey #iceskating #OptOutdoors #OptOutside #outdoors #OutdoorHockey #doodle #poodle #happyholidays #merrychristmas

Did you know that the road to Paradise on #MtRainier is closed weekdays this winter? This represents gross mis-management of an amazing area for snowy recreation that will now be crammed into only two weekend days. Please consider signing and sending a message to your elected officials to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
