Thank you! It was such a perfect spring PNW day. Weather changing every 10 minutes haha. A real treat.

West Fork #Pasayten Valley as seen from a cold-war era radar installation-slash-fire lookout in the #northcascades of the #pacificnorthwest

Highest (and scariest) drivable location in Washington. 😰

Morning golden hour from a fire lookout in the North Cadcades. The rising sun casts shadows over the mountains.

Probably my favorite nature trip in WA. Sunrises and sunsets from a fire lookout before a northward trek on the #PCT toward the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ border.

#olympicnationalpark coast giving surreal vibes. Love the dreamlike, intimidating energy of this place during blue hour.

Perfect place to contemplate mortality and the destructive power of the Cascadia subduction zone (& somehow still be at peace).

I treated myself to a 14mm lens - first time taking it out. Can’t wait to take it to the backcountry.

Trump administration rolls back forest protections in bid to ramp up logging President Donald Trump's administration has rolled back environmental protections around future logging projects on more than half of U.S. national forests under an emergency designation issued Friday...

Time to hug some trees and get shipped to El Salvador.

I feel fine with heights if I’m on my feet, but that road damn near made me have a panic attack. Glad I had someone else to drive!

I rarely take photos of the city, even though back in the Midwest, my home city was my primary subject.

Seattle doesn’t always match my #photography aesthetic, but there are some gems of opportunities out there.

I’ve only done section hikes along it, but it does lead to some of the best parts of WA. Love Hart’s Pass to the Canadian border in early October especially.

Sunburst crests the jagged ridgeline of Dorado Needle, visible from Tepeh Col in the east. The light casts a warm glow on McAllister Glacier and the surrounding ice in the North Cascades National Park.

Sunset casts light from the west on the ridgeline of Primus Peak, visible from North Klawatti Glacier Camp. The hues illuminate wispy, hovering clouds under a darkening sky in the North Cascades National Park.

In the west, sunset light bursts from behind the impressive Flying Buttress of Mount Redoubt. It casts a warm glow on the expansive Redoubt Glacier and creates a scene of solitude in the North Cascades National Park.
