Day 2318: This was my second time reaching this Instafamous lookout point, and I think it grew on me a bit this time. The first time we made it up around noon and a mixture of low clouds/sun obscured the view for much of the time we were up there. I

Day 2317: As the Sun disappeared below the horizon, the phoenix took shape. It emerged out of the snowy cinders of the ice-clad volcano—perhaps that’s why it wasn’t a solid or true physical being. Instead the firebird was wispy and

Day 2316: Last week a drought emergency was declared for the Washington, the 4th time in as many years. Thinking back to the Dec record braking floods and the state’s above average precip since October, it’s hard to image that we’re

Day 2315: I’m starting to see some reports of flowers on the eastern slopes of the Cascades. It’s always a little hard to know exactly how the blooms will respond to the previous winter’s weather, but considering how warm and snowle

Day 2314: I find my adventure routine shakes up a little in April and May. From June through October and December through March I spend as much time in the alpine as I can (and conditions allow). This would be true for November as well, but I usually

Day 2313: Yesterday was the first day of the year that felt like summer in the Seattle area. The temperature hit 73ºF at SeaTac Airport which is as warm or colder than the average temperature between June 24th and September 13th (sunday’s

Day 2312: Washington pretty much has it all to make me happy. Glaciers? More than any other state in the Lower 48. Beautiful, steep mountains? They don’t make them better anywhere else. Berries? Abundant and flavorful—no place has a highe

Day 2311: It’s no secret that the snowpack is horrible throughout much of the west this season. It’s heinous in the far south (down near Tahoe at the Central Sierra Snow Lab the snowpack was measured at 0 today when it should have been ne

Day 2310: The last couple springs I’ve spent some time in the Canadian Rockies near Banff. This March/April I won’t be making a return trip, but Canada can’t keep me away and I’ll be up in BC in May. Maybe even this summer I&r

Day 2309: Last week we saw a particularly unusual set of weather conditions set up in Washington State. Snow fell all the way down to sea level including a measured 3” at SeaTac. This was the 5th greatest March snowfall on record (80ish years o

Day 2308: Say hello to the snowiest snow measuring station in the US! There’s snow and then there’s the snow amounts that bury this station just above Easy Pass at 5,280’ in the National Park. While there are snowier places in the U

Day 2307: Right now we are in the midst of a series of atmospheric rivers. After receiving a couple feet of snow in the Central and South Washington Cascades last week, the freezing level has risen to 8,000-10,000’ and the WA Cascades (especial

Day 2306: As a photographer it’s important to appreciate the small scenes. Not every day is grandiose, nor everything beautiful the size of a mountain. In the last couple of years I feel like I have regressed in my appreciation of the minute de

Day 2305: Today is the last day to sign up for the 2026 North Cascades backcountry permit lottery! Not going to lie, despite the dozens of nights I’ve spent in the backcountry of North Cascades National Park, I’ve never entered this early

Day 2304: So…how much snowfall we talking? If you’ve been paying any attention to the local news or weather in the PNW over the last couple days, you may have heard about winter’s return (or arrival?). Well, it does appear to be a

Day 2302: I posted about this about a month ago (on day 2,294), but I cannot get over the extreme snowfall gradient with elevation this year in the North Cascades. The Mt. Baker Ski Area currently has almost twice the depth of snow at 5,000’ as

Day 2302: This weekend the snow up in the Mount Baker area was the stuff of an artist’s dreams. The temperature could have been colder and the snow could have been deeper, but I can’t imagine a softer, cleaner, more untouched canvas than

Day 3001: In the recent year I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the speed of road repair. Last year the road to the Hoh rainforest washed out and was fixed within just a couple of months. After the destructive series of atmospheric rivers this p

Day 2301: We are extremely fortunate to live in an area with winter mountain access. In Washington there is a lifetime of winter adventures to be had, but the key is making sure you have a lifetime to enjoy them. In the winter an inhospitable environ

Day 2300: So far winter has been missing across the west. Sure, we’ve had a couple snow storms blow through the mountains and we had an inversion in the lowlands last month which brought some of the first freezing lows of the winter to areas, b

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
