Day 2 of our road trip to Leavenworth and we awoke to another sunny day and headed to nearby Icicle Creek. (You can see the story and pictures from Day 1 here if you missed it.) Icicle Creek originates near the crest of the… Continue Reading “Icicle Creek and Wenatchee”
There’s never a bad time to visit Nolte State Park. We’ve made the drive south many times to get away from the city, breathe in fresh air and walk the trail through the forest around lovely Deep Lake. We were there in January when the… Continue Reading “Nolte State Park in Color”
I finally made it to Gene Coulon Park today to see the display of fall color under sunshine and clear skies. Just in time. Rain and wind forecasted for the rest of the week. ~ Susanne
This week we happened upon the Temperate Rainforest of the Carbon River Valley just inside the remote northwest corner of Mt. Rainier National Park and enjoyed a lovely walk through the woods. Who knew? Blessed to have all this so close to home! ~ … Continue Reading “Surprised by Rainforest”

Sunrise at Mt. Rainier but no need to get up early for I speak of the Sunrise side of the Mountain and not the time of day! I hope you are not tired of Mt Rainier but the 4th of July proved a perfect time to visit… Continue Reading “Sunrise at Mt Rainier”
A Saturday and I woke up feeling kind of blue. Needed some green for the cure and so we hit the road heading east looking for it. After thirty minutes or so, traffic slowed and cars lined the road on the approach to Rattlesnake Lake. Oh! It’s a Saturday in summer… Continue Reading “Green over Blue in the Pacific Northwest”
