Bear Erickson

I moved back to Washington two months ago, got married, and have been enjoying all the adventures my dogs heart desires. ❤️

Nights at Rainier

Thank you so much! I’m very excited for this next life adventure.I know it’s been a while since I’ve really been a part of this atmosphere, but I really appreciate everyone who has followed along and supported me through all these years. So much love.

I’m marrying my best friend on our 4 year anniversary in the same way we met - climbing a mountain.

When it’s too cold for rock, we find frozen water.

Emmons the Explorer This little fella is his happiest and most well behaved when able to run through the woods & smell all the smells at his own pace.

Best part of 2017 was watching Emmons personality grow. Heres to another year with my best friend. ❤️

During a trip home to Alaska we found some fabrics that we fell in love with and knew we wanted to create some sort of mountain image with, but didn’t really know what. Finally it all kind of clicked and I am SO STOKED with the outcome. We’ve got a couple different fabrics for a variety of styles on this bag so stay tuned if you love it as much as I do!

There's not a whole lot I enjoy more than a dip in a mountain lake.

I spent the last week of April trying to chase as much of winter as I could before she departed.

Most of my time away has been spent focusing on my quiet journey with rock climbing. I loved mountaineering and wasn't quite so sure about adding rock climbing until I started going to the Red River Gorge last year and fell in love. It's opened so many more doors and experiences in the mountains and I'm beyond excited to move back to Washington in the spring to continue this adventure.
