HIking Multnomah Falls

The Columbia River Gorge: Hiking Multnomah Falls

Welcome back to the Ultimate Oregon Road Trip series on Travels ‘N’ Trails!

An Afternoon in Portland

in Oregon, Travel on 11/01/16

Back in September, J and I spent a week road-tripping through Oregon. It was an amazingly beautiful trip, and I’m going to spend the next few weeks recapping all our stops and showing you the best sights to see and activities to do, so that you can plan your Ultimate Oregon Road Trip too! Our first stop was Portland! Portland is… View Post

2015 Year in Review

in Misc on 08/01/16

Hello friends! Before it gets too far into 2016, I wanted to take some time to look back on 2015 and all of the fun adventures that we had! I started this blog back in May as a place to keep track of all of the trips we took, visitors we had, and hikes we accomplished. I love taking pictures… View Post

Our Black Friday OptOutside Adventure

in Trails on 03/12/15

I loved REI’s OptOutside campaign this year, encouraging everyone to spend Black Friday enjoying the outdoors rather than standing in line at the mall. The weather has been unusually sunny and clear lately, so J and I decided to head up to Paradise Visitor Center at Mount Rainier for the day – one of my favorite places! Mount Rainier was… View Post

Winter Hike to Snow Lake

in Trails on 02/12/15

My parents were visiting this past week, and it’s been unusually sunny and beautiful for November, so last Saturday we ventured out on a winter hike to Snow Lake. This hike has been on my list for a while, since it’s described on the Washington Trails Association website as the most visited alpine lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. The… View Post

Mount St. Helens

in Seattle on 06/11/15

One of my favorite day trips that J and I took this summer was down to Mount St. Helens. Johnston Ridge Observatory is on the north side of the mountain and provides a great viewpoint over the surrounding area. There’s really only one way to get out to the observatory – Washington State Route 504 off of I-5. Make sure you… View Post

San Juan Island

in Seattle on 05/11/15

After our fun day in Victoria, we took a ferry from Sidney, B.C, to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Friday Harbor is such a cute town that I can’t wait to visit again! We checked in to our hotel and headed out to dinner at The Bluff. My only request was to eat at somewhere with a view, and… View Post

A Day in Victoria, B.C.

in Seattle on 04/11/15

Back in July, J’s parents came to visit, and we took an amazing  weekend trip up to Victoria and San Juan Island. We drove to Port Angeles the night before so that we could take the first ferry over in the morning. We had a gorgeous day and were so excited to explore! The ferry ride was a beautiful (but choppy!)… View Post

Japanese Garden

in Seattle on 29/10/15

I absolutely love fall! I must be turning into a real Pacific Northwesterner because I am really enjoying the cool, cloudy, drizzly days lately. One of my favorite parts about the seasons changing is getting to see all the leaves changing too. I started searching for the best places in Seattle to enjoy the fall colors, and I discovered the… View Post

Diablo Lake

in Seattle, Trails on 03/10/15

Hello again! I’m finally catching up on the rest of our summer adventures! Back at the beginning of August, my brother and his fiance came to visit, and we had an awesome weekend exploring Seattle, camping in the mountains, and trying to convince them to move here. 🙂 Friday morning we headed up to Diablo Lake, in North Cascades National… View Post
