A sunny hike to one of the most popular lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Just us and a few hundred other hikers! Popular hikes: love ‘em or avoid ‘em?

Summer has finally made it to Washington! Now is the perfect time to check out some of the amazing waterfalls this state has to offer. What’s your favorite?

Forest hikes to moody alpine lakes, PNW at its finest!

No matter the distance, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of reaching a summit! We got an early start on this day and were thrilled to have good weather after rain the day before. Thanks to getting on the trail early, we only encountered one other pair of hikers who were making their way down and had the summit to ourselves. Looking forward to more days like this soon! • • • • • #washingtonstate #pnwonderland #upperleftusa #livewashington #pnw #washingtontrails #olympicnationalpark #washingtonexplored #findyourselfoutside #optoutside #washington #landscape #pacificnorthwest #landscapephotography #travel #naturephotography #wanderlust #instanature #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #mountains #nature #hiking #adventure
