Daffodils are my absolute favorite flower, so when I heard about the Skagit Valley daffodil fields, I knew I had to go! Skagit Valley is most famously known for the tulip fields that bloom in April, and many people don’t know that the fields are first blooming with daffodils in March. On one randomly sunny Saturday afternoon in March, we… View Post
We recently took a day trip up to Orcas Island, and it is one of my new favorite places! My parents were visiting a few weeks ago and the weather was beautiful, so we made a last-minute decision to go explore for a day. We drove up to Anacortes and took the ferry out to Orcas Island. I highly recommend… View Post
I recently connected on Instagram with an awesome startup company that I love, Project Latitude. They’ve got a Kickstarter campaign starting today, which I wanted to share with all of you! Danny and Javier, two architects from New York City, have both been involved in numerous volunteer builds around the world, and after their latest trip to Zambia in the summer… View Post
On our last morning in Oregon, we headed back to the Sleepy Monk for some coffee and then down to the beach for one last look at Haystack Rock. Cannon Beach is truly gorgeous, and I can’t wait to come back and visit again. After forcing myself to leave the beach, we hopped in the car and headed home! We… View Post
Cannon Beach is one of the more popular towns along the Oregon Coast, and we could definitely see why. Haystack Rock is a prominent feature on the coastline, and it draws a lot of crowds! We were excited to have a day to spend exploring the town, beach, and surrounding area. If you stay in Cannon Beach, make sure you… View Post
The Oregon Coast is filled with beautiful towns, and it would be easy to spend an entire week (or more) exploring them all! We only had one day though, so here are a few of the top spots that made our list that you should consider, too! We’d spent the past two days at Crater Lake exploring Wizard Island, so our… View Post
https://travelsntrails.com/yellowstone-national-park-guide/ Our second day at Crater Lake was probably my favorite day of our trip. While researching things to do in the park, I’d discovered that it was possible to actually go out to Wizard Island, the volcano in the middle of the lake, and spend some time hiking and swimming! I love finding new hikes and unique activities in places… View Post
If you’re planning a trip to Oregon, Crater Lake National Park is a spot you can’t miss! It is a little bit in the middle of nowhere, so it can take some extra time and effort to include in your itinerary, but it is absolutely worth it! To recap our Oregon road trip for those of you just joining the… View Post
After spending two nights in Hood River, we set off to actually visit Mount Hood! We had been admiring it from a distance for a couple days, and I was excited to see it up close. We headed up to Timberline Lodge, a ski lodge at Mount Hood that was built in 1936-1937. Construction of the lodge was ordered by President… View Post
Hood River is the perfect place to stay while visiting the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood. It’s located just an hour east of Portland, along the Columbia River Highway. We stayed in Hood River for two nights on our Oregon road trip, after spending time in Portland and hiking Multnomah Falls. After our day in the rain at Multnomah Falls,… View Post
