Goodbye October πŸ₯²

October has been full of summer, fall and winter days - phew how the seasons are quickly changing. We've had LOTS of rain in the PNW (no surprise there), with less than a handful of dry days the last few weeks and temps in the 40°s 🌧

I think it's safe to say that winter is here, so we're fully embracing the hype of ski season. Mount Hood is getting dumped on with snow, and we can't wait to hit the slopes! Just need them to open the lifts soon πŸ€žβ›·οΈβ„οΈ

What's the weather like in your neck of the woods? Our East Coast family members keep bragging about 70-80° days 🌞

Chased all the fall colors last weekend πŸ‚β›°οΈ

Went on our first camping trip in a bit and it felt so relaxing. The fall foliage really was showing off, too!! Love when nature gains new temporary colors πŸπŸ‚

How have you been embracing fall?

We visited at local pumpkin patch the other day and I'm so happy to have apple cider donuts back!! 🍩

We've been absent on here the last few weeks because we were planning something exciting... 🀭

We eloped! πŸ”πŸ₯‚πŸ’

On September 28th the two of us, plus Oats 🐾, got married on Mount Hood in Oregon. We hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, spent the night at Timberline Lodge (no, our room was not haunted), and we are now husband and wife πŸ₯Ή

We are excited to get back to sharing fun dog-friendly adventures around the PNW, but I think this was our favorite adventure yet - doing what we love in one of our favorite places ❀️

First summer in the pnw did not disappoint πŸ”πŸŒ²

While we mourn the end of another summer (πŸ₯²), looking back on all of our adventures around Oregon makes us feel fulfilled.

I think this was one of our favorite trips this summer - a little over an hour from home, at a quiet lake with beautiful views of Mount Hood 🫢 Such a simple yet peaceful weekend.

I hope you all had a wonderful summer as we start to embrace the seasons changing πŸƒπŸ‚

Are you ready for fall?

If you ever find yourself in central Oregon, Smith Rock State Park is a great place to visit right outside of Bend 🏞

It's located in Oregon's high desert, so here's some tips:

● Visit early - you do not want to find yourself starting a hike at the warmest part of the day πŸ₯΅
● There's little shade in the park - make sure you pack a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen & sun hoodie for extra protection 🌞
● Pack extra water - you'll need a lot more than you think you will πŸ’§

These are extra important if you're visiting with dog(s)!! πŸ•β€πŸ¦Ί Heat exhaustion in pets is no joke. Be sure to offer your dog lots of water and breaks in shade (there's small amounts of shade near the boulders). Also check the temperature of the ground to make sure it's safe for them to walk on. Be sure to familiarize yourself with signs of heat exhaustion in dogs, it can save their life!

We used to live in a desert, but phew we forgot how harsh (yet beautiful) this type of terrain is 🏜

Scrolling through these photos, it's crazy to think that they were all taken in one weekend πŸ“·

We visited Mount Rainier National Park last weekend and we experienced all of the seasons. One day we hiked in t-shirts, the next in puffer jackets. We saw lots of fall foliage, and also hiked on snowy trails πŸ‚β˜€οΈβ„οΈ This park is incredible.

It feels really good to be settled into our new place and getting out on adventures again 🏠🚘

Happy to be back and excited to share all of our upcoming adventures in the PNW 🫢

Life update! We're moving to...

Oregon! πŸŒ²πŸ”

In just two weeks we'll be moving to Northern Oregon 😲 It feels crazy that we're about to do our third move in 3 years, but we're so excited for this next chapter.

When we finished school and moved to California, we really didn't know how long we would spend here. After realizing how much there is to see and do, we wanted to stick around for all the adventures πŸ₯ΎπŸ€Ώβ›·οΈπŸΎπŸš΅β€β™€οΈ

We've made so many incredible memories here, but it's time to explore new areas πŸ—Ί

So get ready for lots of dog-friendly adventures in the PNW! We'll also continue sharing all of our California reccs since there's still soo many we have yet to share with you guys.

Thanks for being here 🧑

It's hard to not fall in love with Bend, Oregon especially when you realize how many different adventures there are here! ⛰️πŸ₯ΎπŸš΅β€β™€οΈβ›·οΈ

We got to do some rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park and were so surprised that Oats was allowed to tag along since state parks aren't dog friendly in CA πŸΆπŸ§—β€β™‚οΈ

Oats loved our guide from and so did we. Got to see this beautiful park for the first time in a really fun way (scroll for the views 🀩)

Thanks for an awesome day of climbing πŸ‘

We love that Oats can join us on our hiking adventures, but just like us he needs his own gear to be able to do it safely πŸΆβ›°

This hike was a bit tough with sections of rock scrambling, and having Oats' harness allowed us to provide support when he needed it. After the hike we all needed some time to rest, and our hammocks and comfy chairs back at the campsite certainly helped.

Cabela's has such a variety of outdoor products from many different brands that we trust, from Kurgo dog products to Eno lounge gear. It's so convenient being able to shop for ourselves and Oats in one store πŸ‘

Paddleboarding has become one of our favorite summer activities, and it's even better that we can bring Oats along.

We were a bit nervous at first to bring him with us, because despite loving the beach Oats hates being in water...

But after realizing that with a paddleboard you can be ON the water without having to get IN the water, I think he realized that it was pretty cool lol.

And it's perfect for us because we like to take a dip in the water to cool off (except for this sunrise paddle where it was pretty chilly).

What's your favorite summer activity to beat the heat?
