Ahhh procrastination is real. Here’s what I’ve been up to!
1. Glacier National Park – September 2018
We apparently just missed a grizzly bear and her cubs on this trail. We ended up seeing a moose which was definitely a first for all of us.
A group of girls that barely knew each other were brought together by my friend Sam for her birthday. Collectively, we journeyed from three different states to get here. Iceberg Lake was pretty incredible.
2. North Cascades Fire Lookout

3. Goldmyer Hot Springs
Photo taken by Jacob PenderworthWe managed to hitch a ride with some volunteers to skip out on the boring, flat stretch of a hike to get to these springs.
4. Enchantments
Over 20 miles with 6000 ft elevation gain. This crew rocked it. (Laura, Brenna, Taryn, Ben)
One of the many lakes we saw in the 12 hours of hikingGoat friends
5. Mount Pilchuck
My friend Chris was visiting from Michigan and we had incredible views at the top with barely any people!

7. Highway 2 Shenanigans

Crazy random adventure at a cabin thanks to Connor Willgress. Rad photo thanks to Matt Mattox. Not shown: Katrina that I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time!

8. Rattlesnake Part 1
This hike has become a favorite of mine because of how close it is and the high reward for moderate effort. This photo was taken by Disa and it is one of my favorites.
Don’t mind that her face is out of focus. I have fixed my camera since this annoying issue. Still a photo I enjoy of Disa
the lovely Holly
9. Snoqualmie and Boardman Tree Farm
Taken on iPhone. I met up with Michael Flugstad at sunrise to help him with some product work and then made my way down to Bend Oregon for a birthday party!
Boardman tree farm was magic and the first time I ever used a tripod to take a photo of myself. So sad that this place is being destroyed for farming.
10. Bend Oregon area
Photo by Jacob Penderworth. Crazy that he caught this unintentional hair flip
Another photo from Jacob at a lake from a hike I don’t remember the name of haha
Andddd another from Jacob at Smith Rock the next day
11. Canada

Marvin and I hung out at a river waiting for new friends to join
On our way home Marvin couldn’t help but stop with the colors of this field
12. The Rainiest Hike of My Life
I snapped this photo on the way up to the trailhead. Its the only decent photo from this day because of the rain.
First time hiking with Hillary and Tyler. A bonding experience for sure.
13. Rattlesnake Part 2
The only photo I have from this sunrise jog with Adam. I guess I was distracted heh.
