🌄 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 😅). What keeps you coming back to the mountains? 🏔️

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

An old man poses for the camera with his two adult daughters and their dog, a large poodle mix. They’re on a frozen lake, and the humans wear winter clothes and ice skates, and hold hockey sticks.

At dusk, under grey skies, a large poodle mix plays with a hockey stick, keeping it from his owner, an adult woman, who is blurred in the foreground.

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.
