Crow Gifts of All Kinds. March 16, 2015. March 16, 2015. The Urban Nature Enthusiast. Read this blog and the others in the scavenger hunt, find the answers to the questions. And race to win fabulous prizes (including one of my raven pendants. I have to admit, I have been a bit envious of the little girl in Seattle* who has received so many fabulous gifts from the crows she feeds every day in her garden. My local crow, Eric. Some things are both large and small at the same time. I spend an hour taking det...

Pacific Northwest Seasons: January 2015
http://pacificnwseasons.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Hurricane Ridge in the Winter. While people come from all over the world to see. In Olympic National Park. Most go there in the summer and fall to gape at the breathtaking views. Locals know that winter is a quieter but equally wonderful time to visit. We stopped by a few weeks ago on a short Olympic Peninsula roadtrip, thinking of a hike. We underestimated the prior day's snowfall, and without snowshoes or skis, that didn't happen. Snow crystals, just because. View northward of...

http://pacificnwseasons.blogspot.com/2015/07/into-alpine-lakes-wilderness-kendall.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness: Kendall Katwalk. I've been doing a lot of hiking this year; here's another classic Northwest hike. Barely an hour east of Seattle via Interstate 90, the Pacific Crest Trail. Switchbacks into the stunning, craggy Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Which is full of many (surprise! Just north of I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass. Years ago when I first hiked this section of the PCT, I thought we made it to the Katwalk. A big Homer Simpson "D'OH! Miles and gaining over 2,...

The Case for Female Solo Hiking • Outdoor Women's Alliance
http://www.outdoorwomensalliance.com/2015/02/female-solo-hiking.html
Sea to Sky British Columbia. Sea to Sky British Columbia. The Case for Female Solo Hiking. I load my dog, backpack and hiking boots into the car and drive. The early morning stars give way to turquoise, orange, then pink as the sun breaks the horizon. Mountains reveal themselves in the distance as I go through a checklist in my head: water, food, camera, socks, emergency kit, map. I fire off an email to my husband while sitting at a stop light:. What if I get hurt? What if I get lost? I continued solo th...

A Day Without Rain. Musings of a Pacific Northwest Nature Nerd. Musings, Wanderings, and Nature Writing. Saturday, March 26, 2016. Wanderings: The Old Sauk River Trail. Under a threatening ceiling of low gray clouds, my sister, her dog Ruby and I set out on the first day of spring to meet up with our book club at the Old Sauk River Trail. In the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. I'd had this hike saved in my "backpack" on the Washington Trails Association website. Having visited Rockport State Park.

A Day Without Rain. Musings of a Pacific Northwest Nature Nerd. Musings, Wanderings, and Nature Writing. Monday, February 22, 2016. Last weekend, Saturday dawned cool and overcast, and as I eyed those smooth gray skies I felt a bit apprehensive about setting out for a hike. The previous weekend's soggy slog along the Lime Kiln trail. After a quick stop for coffee, my sister, her pup Ruby, and I drove north through scenic Skagit County and along the gorgeous, twisting Chuckanut Drive to Larrabee State Park.

Pacific Northwest Seasons: Northwest Winter Getaway: Low-Key Lake Quinault Lodge
http://pacificnwseasons.blogspot.com/2013/01/northwest-winter-getaway-low-key-lake.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. Northwest Winter Getaway: Low-Key Lake Quinault Lodge. While I appreciate contemporary architecture. My heart really belongs to the old, rustic National Park lodges full of sturdy wood-beamed ceilings. Lake Quinault Lodge. In Washington's Olympic National Park. Is a gem of the genre. And a wonderful place to spend a few days in the winter away from it all. In a temperate rainforest. The lodge and surroundings feel like an enchanted world apart. Our second-floor walk-up room was ...
