A little bit of alpenglow on our last night in the park ❤️
Scenes from the Alta Vista Trail, including an incredibly bold chipmunk, Golden Gate Falls, from afar, and a deer managing a very steep incline a lot better than we were!
After hiking back from Nisqually Vista, Luke and I set off to do the Alta Vista, which involved a steep 300' of climbing right up front, but got much easier after, with big views of Paradise and the Tatoosh
Nisqually Vista, part 1 - this was our only big family hike on this trip, as Kristin‘s knees weren’t quite up to the task of alpine trail inclines. that said, if you’re only going to do one hike, this is a stunner. Everywhere we loo
Ranier was out and proud that morning from Reflection Lake!
I was born with two healthy feet, and they've taken me many places. In June 2021 the right one swelled up (as we later found out, due to Lyme disease) and hasn't been the same since. Now it feels like I take right foot with me, even though it's doing

School campout kubb games, 2018 and 2023. Underrated backyard game that we only get to play in parks due to small backyard. :P
School campout last weekend, exhausting and friendship-filled time of connection! Fine weather, good bike trails, and lots of laughter.

Welcoming Summer, last year and this. 2022, skipping rocks at St Marys Lake, Glacier NP 2023, basking in the sunshine near Wallowa Lake, Joseph, OR I guess we have a travel style!
It is June 2022. I am hiking along Upper McDonald Creek. The creek is high, as the snowmelt is late this year. We're among the early crowd to Glacier, having arrived as soon as the campgrounds open. We go around nearby Johns Lake, extending the hike
