A trip report from a Memorial Day weekend exploring Stehekin and running part of the Lakeshore Trail along Lake Chelan. We're so lucky to have such an amazing place in our backyard!
Trip Reports
Sit back, relax, and read some good stories of adventure.
The Enchantments Death March, a one day thru-hike gaining over 6k in 18 tough, rocky, granite-filled miles is simply stunning and a mountain goat paradise.
A plan B hike through the fog to Hex Mountain after a whole lot of fail trying to find another trailhead. It turned into a suprisingly beautiful outing!
After a rainy and cold ascent of Navajo Peak in the Teanaway we were treated to clearing weather and lovely views! There be snow in the mountains!
A spectacularly beautiful hike through Beehive Basin in Big Sky, Montana, named one of the top 10 hikes in the country. As a solo hiker I had bears on my mind and got a surprise I didn't count on...
A first-time visit to Yellowstone National Park left me in awe of its stunning geological features and wildlife.
Playing gear Tetris on a Friday night, sleeping in my Jeep with my dog during a rainstorm.. just your normal Labor Day weekend outing!
After 12 years I finally checked the mail again, successfully scrambled to Dirtybox AND narrowly avoided a lightning storm on the summit, I'd say that's a win!
Spending a weekend camping at 10,000 on Mount Rainier sure is a good one! Talk about some stunning views, wow!!
One of these days I'm convinced I'll go on a hike with easy trails and warming huts with coffee. This was not one of those days.
My first ever attempt to get to Camp Muir at the 10,080' level of Mt Rainier was successful! We enjoyed a gorgeous day under blue skies despite a fierce wind. Mt Rainier sure put on a beautiful show with some amazing morning clouds. Pretty lucky for December!
Ironic isn't it that I ran the coldest trail race I've ever done at one of the hottest places on earth? Go figure. No one believes me when I say I almost froze to death in Death Valley.
