Have you ever heard of the Enchantments?
.
.
We first learned about them in June while planning our Washington state road trip. Located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Washington state, the Enchantments are a wonderland of alpine lakes, jagged mountains, and waterfalls. It is truly a hiking paradise.
.
.
The only way to get here is by hiking. If you are extremely lucky, you can get a permit to camp here, allowing you to spend several nights and days to explore this gorgeous place. And when I say lucky, less than 2% of people who apply for a permit get one.
.
.
But you can still get here on a massive day hike. To thru-hike the Enchantments, it is a 19 mile hike through mountainous terrain. But your reward is a visit to one of the most spectacular hiking destinations in the United States.
.
.
If you want to learn more, click the link in our bio to check out the hiking trail. In the next day or two I will also be publishing a how-to guide that has all the logistical info you need to plan the hike. Happy hiking!!

For unbeatable views of North Cascades National Pa

For unbeatable views of North Cascades National Park, put the hike to Cascade Pass and Sahale Arm high on your list! It's a tough hike, about 12 miles round trip with 4,000 feet of elevation gain, but the views are incredible. This is a national park that's best seen from a hiking trail, and be prepared to hike high for views like this. But it is absolutely worth it!!

We are in the final National Park of our summer road trip. Beautiful hike and picture perfect weather on the Maple Pass Loop Trail. We have two more days planned in North Cascades National Park, with some big hikes on the list (as long as this amazing weather holds out)

We just spent several days in the lovely Bavarian

We just spent several days in the lovely Bavarian town of Leavenworth, Washington. It looks and feels a lot more like Europe than the United States. Spending at least one day in Leavenworth is a must on a road trip through Washington. It's a great home base for visiting wineries, hiking the Enchantments and Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and skiing.

20 miles, over one mile of elevation gain (on a 100 degree day)…the thru-hike of the Enchantments is one of the toughest day hikes we have done, but also one of the most beautiful. Does this look like something you would like to do?

After six days in Mt. Rainier National Park, we can now say that we saw Mt. Rainier from all sides...all but one, that is. Maybe in 2021 you'll see us standing on the peak of Mt. Rainier. How awesome would that be?
