For a few days, Derek and I camped over by Lake Cushman in the Staircase section of Olympic National Park. This part of the park is accessed from Hoodsport, WA along the canal, and then a long road which...
Little River Hike
This is our second time hiking Little River Trail in Olympic National Park and it was just as magical. It’s such a quiet uncrowded trail in deep forest. It’s almost creepy in places since it’s so quiet and dense....
Maiden Peak Hike
Deer Park Rd out of Port Angeles, part of Olympic Naitonal Park, is quite an adventure. Derek rode up it before it was open to cars for the season so we knew what to expect. After the pavement ends...
Gray Wolf River Hike

Hurricane Ridge Hike
Hurricane Ridge is another popular destination within Olympic National Park and for a good reason. I’ve always loved snowy mountains so we made sure to hit this attraction early in the season to get the best views. Hurricane Ridge...
Sol Duc Falls Hike
One of the most popular things to do in Olympic National Park is hike to Sol Duc Falls. We picked a morning mid week before the summer crowds to check this out. It’s worth it. The name Sol Duc...
