Day 2251: Alaska, pretty much without question, has the most incredible terrain in the US. It has 19 peaks higher than anything else in the Lower 48, more than a dozen major mountain ranges, and 75,000 sq km of glaciers (200 times more than the rest
Day 2250: One of the things I was most excited for Alaska was seeing a tidewater glacier. As someone who grew up with glaciers in the mountains, always at elevation, the idea of a glacier spilling ice directly into the ocean doesn’t compute. It

Day 2246: If you haven’t spent that much time in the mountains this summer, the past couple months may have felt somewhat unremarkable. You may have noticed that it’s been relatively warm, but it’s not like there was a massive heat
Day 2245: On Tuesday evening the Bear Gulch fire in the southeastern Olympics exploded. Over less than 24 hours, the fire roughly doubled in size, going from around 10,000 acres to almost 20,000 acres. Overnight it became one of the largest fires in
Day 2244: Tis the most colorful time of the year again in the Cascades. No clue how it happened this fast, but I’m hoping my body will give me a chance to get out there in the next month before the snows of winter descend.
