After getting back to the car, we headed to the Courthouse Towers, which was just on the other end of the Park Avenue trail. You can walk the whole way and back to the Courthouse Towers from the Park Avenue viewpoint, but we opted to only go half-way since it was just the beginning of […]
Maybe thanks to the exhaustion of getting here, I slept early and woke up right at 6AM after what felt like the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. The three of us went down to eat breakfast in the hotel, then got ready for our full day in Arches. Our first stop was […]
Standing proudly at the southwestern tip of Washington are two lighthouses: Cape Disappointment and North Head. The former, lit in 1856, was the very first lighthouse in the state, and remains active to this day. The latter, built in 1897, was built due to complaints by mariners that Cape Disappointment was obstructed by the headland […]
At 9PM the night before, I got a text from Marina asking if I wanted to join her for a morning hike. Lately I’ve been wanting to go camping and hiking again, so I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve been staying up late playing video games until 6AM, but thankfully I woke up on time. […]
On our way over to Tsubaki Shrine, we passed by a park entrance and decided to turn around and check it out! It was my first time actually seeing the backroads of Arlington, so I was really amazed how peaceful and secluded everything felt. The rain was still coming down, so we decided to keep […]
On a small family trip to the Olympic Coast, we stopped by Mora and Rialto Beach! It was early in the morning, super foggy and eary and I loved every minute of it. There were a few boats out on the lake and there was no distinction between sky and water. We also made a […]
This weekend marks the first of many Saturday morning hikes I’ll be going on with my mom and aunt. We ended up making a detour through Snoqualmie on our way to Bandera Mountain, though, so I decided to separate the two posts. I don’t remember much of Snoqualmie, but they said that the last time […]
We set out at 8:30AM towards Lake Twenty-Two, sammiches, water, and chips packed. The snow this winter has been particularly heavy so we all bundled up as best as we could to prepare for this hike but I don’t think any of us were fully prepared for the 3ft+ of snow at the peak! haha. […]
Today was a relatively quiet hike with Nathan and Nhat. We decided to go to Discovery Park again, as it’s so large that we haven’t been to every part of it. Once again, the search for the big tree is on our minds. It’s amazing how drastic sound changes in the cold months. Everything is […]
Today was a pretty big snafoo of a hike trip, mostly because we didn’t caravan our two cars and the area we were in had no signal, so our friend Jordan couldn’t reach/find us and had to go back home. The age of technology is pretty crippling in these cases, especially when we can’t work […]
