Trail in Northern NM, Early May 2024

First Beach

Balcony House

Lake Crescent

Cool mosses in the Hoh rainforest

For reference, I live in the southwest, so most of that is drivable (ish). I'd like to stay on the west coast to have a better chance of cheap tickets. If you have good hiking suggestions too, I'm all ears

First Beach, on the Quileute Reservation

Hurricane Ridge trail. Caught the wildflowers at almost the perfect time of year

Mid Summer camping trip 2023. First time camping in a hammock, which did not go well. Failed to account for insulation beneath me, and was helping run a school camping trip, so I was a bit hypervigilant. No sleep that night lol, but the bears didn't eat any of the kids so I count it as a win.

Falls trail

Hurricane ridge at dawn

Lunchtime on the dunes. Nothing like some good soup in a mug

If anyone knows what fish this is, lmk

The beast won't let me plan my trip. As soon as the map goes down, he sits on it

First Beach on the Quileute Reservation

It got super foggy on the whale watching trip I went on while I was in Washington, and as we were turning back to Port Angeles, the Race Rocks came out of the mists. It was something out of an episode of Scooby-Doo, foreboding. But, they do some very cool ecological research and conservation work at the lighthouse, protecting the surrounding ecosystems.
