Trees in the PNW are tenacious, to say the least.

Happy National Hiking Day! 🦆🌧️It’s drizzling at Ridgefield NWR, and we are loving it. PNW rain = quieter trails and prime wildlife viewing! If you want to spot migrating waterfowl, today is the day. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/ridgefield #NationalHikingDay #RidgefieldNWR #Birding #PNWHiking
Throwback to a visit to Mt Rainier National Park in September.
Love the Paradise waterfalls along the trails.

Franklin Falls, located near Snoqualmie Pass in Washington, cascades in a tall, narrow stream from the top of a rocky cliff into a turquoise pool below. The rugged cliff walls are streaked with earthy reds, browns, and mossy greens, while dense evergreen forest surrounds the scene above. Mist rises at the base of the falls where the water crashes into the basin, scattering droplets across the rocky foreground. The image captures the raw beauty and energy of this iconic Pacific Northwest waterfall.
I hiked up to Franklin Falls today and the view was worth every step.

Pinnacle Peak rises sharply behind alpine meadows dotted with evergreens. Its rugged cliffs mirror in a quiet tarn along the Tatoosh Range Trail in the South Cascades.
Mount Rainier and Little Tahoma tower over the horizon under a hazy sky, with glaciers and rocky ridges reflected in a clear trailside pool high in the Tatoosh Range.
Summits above, mirrors below, the Tatoosh doubles the view we love.

Mountain vista from a hiking trail in the Olympic National Park. There are evergreen trees and a small patch of snow in the foreground, and soft, blue mountains in the distance.
"The jagged mountains were pure blue in the dawn and everywhere birds twittered..." Cormac McCarthy

The view just past Mirror lake of a small rocky mountain stream before it tumbles down into woodland far below.
Me sitting on a rock a little far from shore in Mirror lake with dark gray waters, surrounded by mountain and trees. The sky has low, gray clouds
Went to Mirror Lake in Snoqualmie where we frolicked in the wet mist… Lake was cold but just about all to ourselves! #pnwhiking
When it’s your dog’s birthday hike and nature decides to give him the Disney Princess treatment 💖⛰️🥾🐕

From the Alpine Baldy Trail, a black labrador gazes out at the vast Wild Sky Wilderness from the Alpine Baldy Trail amid a flurry of vibrant avalanche lilies.
A black labrador enjoys a full-body snow roll to cool down by the thawing Jakes lake in the Wild Sky Wilderness beneath Mount Fernow.
Taking a well-deserved rest at the summit of Mount Fernow, with panoramic views of the snow-dusted Cascade peaks stretching into the distance
A black labrador enjoys cooling off on the refreshing snowfields, overlooking the partially frozen Jakes Lake in the Wild Sky Wilderness.
Chasing views, crossing snowfields, admiring flowers.

Hoss wanted to go all the way to Mutton Mt. but I think he would have been disappointed at the lack of mutton up top 🤣
