Day 5 continued On our way out of Glacier we stopped in town for a couple of delicious almond milk lattes and some local advice on where to grab breakfast. We were only on the road for another 10 mins before we arrived at our breakfast stop: a small, family-owned restaurant that happened to be [...]
Roughly 12 hours from Portland to Montana is the “Crown of the Continent”, Glacier National park! Carved by prehistoric ice rivers it is nestled in the mountains and flush with alpine meadows, deep forests, waterfalls, 50 glaciers and 200 lakes. The park may be a bit overwhelming if you’re not use to that sort of [...]
After quite a few weeks straight of forecasted rain in the Pacific Northwest I decided the only way we were breaking our non adventurous streak was to just go rain or shine. So I headed to the place where I know no matter what the weather we always have the best time — the Oregon [...]
Summer is here, what better time to plan a road trip out to see some sights around the PNW. Last summer we took a road trip out to see one of Washington's largest waterfalls, also known as the official waterfall of Washington state. Along with the several hour drive out to the falls, we skated [...]

I am trying to become one of those people that doesn't "need" her things but until then I am a tech/gear junkie at heart and I love my toys. But if I had to choose a select few items that I could not live without in the city, on the trail or on the road I [...]
A crisp breeze blew above me that left a magical ambiance in its wake, as golden feather like leaves floated down from the tree canopy, a thick layer of foliage at my feet in every shade of yellow glistened, and fog blanketed the forest floor in the distance. It felt like a wonderland that couldn't be real. [...]
The Olympic National Forest is home to many great hikes and over night adventures. The one that lands on most folks bucket list? Vance Creek Bridge. They say you're a dare devil if you walk across the bridge let alone sit on the edge, dangle your feet off, & take a long look at the [...]
Driving to the coast is somewhat of a monthly outing. It's a quick hour and a half jaunt to see some of the most beautiful landscapes in Oregon, and some of the most interesting relics. Up in the corner of Oregon along the coastal town of Warrenton, lies the Peter Iredale shipwreck of 1906. The shipwreck [...]
Have you ever driven east on the 84 past Hood River...past the Dalles...and just kept going?It's vast, and open and there's suddenly a peace of mind that comes over you, as you drive down the open road with nothing in view. The dirt reaches up until it fades into the blue skies, and large wind mills speckle the hills as they roll by.
