Summer 2025 is complete!

This is every trail I hiked for those short three months. I spent most of my summer exploring my favorite state, Washington, and spent two weeks in Europe for the TMB.

One of my goals is to hike all 100 Classic Hikes of Washington and I’m happy to report that I got to check off four this summer:
1. Hidden Lake Lookout
2. Shoe Lake
3. Highline to Devils Garden
4. Cutthroat Pass

I’m so great full for all the time I got to spend on the trail with close friends and new friends. While I don’t have any more group hikes planned for the year, I do have some fun ones in the works for 2026!

My parents spent a week adventuring with me. It was incredible to take them to some of my favorite spots.

I spent my spring recovering from abdominal surgery so being able to hike all of this trails felt extra rewarding.

My sights are set on a few more classic hikes this fall as I prepare to have a second(and hopefully final) abdominal surgery before the end of the year.

Thanks for being here! I feel so lucky to be able to share these adventures with you!

Be sure to follow for more PNW adventures.
