Once more from the top with feeling... The stoic determination of this first photo, while not terribly attractive, makes me feel strong and indomitable. Decked in hues of gray, I am embodying the mountain, the stalwart nature of the rocks, the mystery of the mists. If the summit of Mt. Pilchuck looks mostly like our weary but satisfied faces, it's because, frankly, that's about all we could see from there. Sharing this time, at the top of our current slice of the world, with the best of friends, was such satisfying soul food. As was copious amounts of nut butters, of which you can apparently consume an ungodly amount without getting sick after hiking up a mountain. (Next up, beers and pizza at basecamp!) . .. . #hiking #hikes #greathikes #greatoutdoors #igwashington #igerswashington #explore #explorepage #explorers #exploreeverything #nature #summit #washington #mtpilchuck #mountpilchuck #adventure #wanderlust #roam #discoverearth #wildnerness #wildernessculture (at Mount Pilchuck)

Seattle is ranked #11 in top 25 places to see in US. The greenery and surrounding mountains gives Seattle the postcard look. It’s home to Boeing factory, MICROSOFT and Amazon campus if you want some techy reason to visit Seattle. And did I tell you that Washington summer is one of the best in country? What’s your favorite summer city in USA? . . . . #spaceneedle #igseattle #igwashington #pnwpride #pnwcast #postcards #travelblogger #igers_seattle #tlpicks #travelgram #ourseattlecommunity #VisitSeattle #igseattle #DiscoverYourNorthwest #ExperienceWA #lonelyplanet #livetravelchannel #neverstopexploring #pnwcollective #beautifulplaces #thatpnwlife #beautifuldestinations #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #traveldeeper #earthfocus #letsgoeverywhere #justgoshoot (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B74NlzynApE/?igshid=1gv8uzetqv4xu

On top of a mountain, at a century-old fire lookout in what looks properly like a snowstorm but is really a giant rain loud. With two of my favorite people on the planet, @misovivi @diy_foodie, wet and cold and tired, but happy. Having climbed back down the 5,000+ feet, time for pizza, beer, and more time with these two amazing souls. . . #mtpilchuck #mountaintop #mountains #summit #summit2018 #adventure #adventuring #washington #wayuphere #outdoors #greatoutdoors #adventuretime #hiking #hike #mtpilchucklookout #mountpilchuck #igwashington #igerswashington #explore #explorepage #explorers (at Mount Pilchuck)

One of the rare days on the trip that we were able to behold the majesty of the Cascade Range. Fitting that we were blessed with this bucolic glimpse on our way out of the mountains. Leisurely making our way to the next stop our journey, which included mostly pizza and beer and a wiley KOA agent of doom. Blessed to enjoy nature with two of my best mates, and to have seen these majestic peaks at least once. . . #washington #igwashington #mtpilchuck #mtrainier #bakerlake #lakeside #nature #innature #greatoutdoors #greathikes #summer #explorepage #explorers #exploreeverything #friends #friendsontour #adventure #adventuring #goparks #wanderlust #wonder (at Baker Lake)
