Spray Park Loop on Rainier offers plenty of water crossings, downhills and views of the big mountain. At the end, you earn your bacon as you climb Ipsut, but it's all worth it.

This is not my typical post, but I'd appreciate it if you could consider helping this family. I met Marzieh, Jamal and their 1-year-old daughter, Mahdis, while flying home after my father passed away from cancer.

For the past three months I have been working with the family to help get them services--especially help from a lawyer to navigate the complex US immigration system. It will cost $8,000+ to complete their asylum cases for all three of them, money they do not have. This is why I am helping them by hosting a fundraiser.
Please consider making a contribution, or add a comment if you know of any Seattle-area not-for-profits that can assist with housing or other essentials.
Thanks for your consideration!

When I first heard about this climb last year, I knew I had to attempt it. The photos of the fire lookout at Three Fingers looked impossibly placed atop a tall peak. While I ran short of the summit on my first attempt in 2021, a few weeks ago I was able finally finish the visit.

This is a different type of adventure, but worthy to capture and share here. I know of Sean and Emily from the running community. They are full of life and love so when they asked me to capture their special day, I jumped at the opportunity.
