Olympic National Park
Ashley’s annual girls trip to visit Jilly led to Olympic National Park, filled with gorgeous mountains, the coast and a rainforest! Quality time with friends and mountain views are good for the soul.
SHT: Britton Peak to Caribou Trail
We teamed up with Liz, Ryan, and Tino to celebrate Crimmy’s second birthday on the SHT! It was a scorcher, but the route was packed with gorgeous views, campsites all to ourselves, and lots of swimming opportunities.
Appalachian Trail Section Hike
We checked off a major bucket list item and completed our first section hike on the Appalachian Trail, and got to visit some friends along the way! Our first hiking trip in the southeastern part of the country and it was one for the books.
Salt Lake City
Ashley and the girls (minus one) took a break from all the B.S. that is 2020 and flew to Salt Lake City for a long weekend of hiking and girl time. It was just what the doctor ordered and so fun to check another place off of the bucket list.
SHT: Cascade River State Park to Judge Magney State Park
We clocked in our longest section hike on the SHT yet - 40 miles in the backcountry exploring one of our favorite places ever!
