Great views from the trail on Friday. I had to stop and jump in this water with that sharp peak behind it. So beautiful!

Old Faithful making it happen his summer in front of almost a thousand people. It was a great shared experience actually 🤷🏻😊

Backpacking meal last week near Mt. Jefferson 😋. We at them ALL day long. I listened to a podcast that said they’re ACTUALLY blueberries but they’ll always be huckleberries to me 🥰.

This was our view last night traveling home on the Columbia River Gorge. Couldn’t love this place more.

Mt. Jefferson in June, super warm but ground around Russell Lake still covered. My son was taking pics of me struggling to not post hole into the snow.

This is me being so spoiled about my breakfast 🤣🤣. I love fresh blackberries so much I never even want them if they’re picked the day before and refrigerated. It’s right off the bramble or nothing 🤦‍♂️—is Blackberry Prima donnaism a thing? I may need an intervention 😆

The sky was LIT last night above Averill Lake. Lots of stars and moon didn’t shut them out—too beautiful 🤩

Looking down into the valley at dusk where the Zigzag River flows out of Mt. Hood. The trail below is part of the PCT and Paradise Park loop.
