Day 2407: Many places around Western Washington have already seen a frost this season as there were a couple days around the end of October (and some days earlier in the month) that were cold and clear. That is not the case for Seattle which, as a re
Day 2406: It is the season of the “Super El Niño” and the weather this week is likely similar to what we will see throughout the winter. By many measures, this is the strongest El Niño ever recorded. Basically that means the
Day 2405: With sunset around 4:30 now and sunrise just after 7, we are now in the season of day hike twilight. While it’s technically feasible to catch an alpine sunrise or sunset in the summer, practically it means an unfortunately early start
Day 2404: A scene just off a forgotten August trail that felt particularly autumnal. I loved how the evening light lit up this solitary tree and surrounding fiery grass.

Day 2403: Things you learn when your tent is surrounded by a band of mountain goats and you can’t escape for a couple hours:
1. Always stop to smell the flowers
2. It’s never too early in the day to lie down for a nap
3. Anyone can pull o
Day 2402: November is a gray month in the PNW. In fact, in November, Seattle is pretty much the cloudiest major city (with a population over 100,000 people) in the United States. Yep, even cloudier than Anchorage. Seattle averages 72.7 hours of sunli
Day 2401: The sun has dawned on another Tuesday across Washington. For the millions of acres of wildlands across the state, it could be pretty much any other November day, but for the households and the population centers, it’s voting day. Many
Day 2400: Well, it happened again. We have “lost” an hour of sunlight meaning the sun now sets in the four-o-clock hour here in the PNW. It didn’t have to be this way. Washington state, along with most of the other states along the
Day 2399: As we approach the onset of November we are rapidly leaving the month of larches behind. Most subalpine larches shed their needles a few weeks ago, and larch madness has been calming down, but the western larches last weekend were in their
Day 2398: The snow has returned to the Cascades! Last year, when this photo was taken in the middle of October, we saw a snowstorm dump nearly a foot of snow in some places. This year the storms returned a little later, but the high Cascades are coat
Day 2397: The driest glaciers in WA around Silver Star and the Enchantments I highlighted yesterday see 60-70” of precipitation each year and at an elevation of 7-8,000’ have an average annual temperature around 30-32ºF. If they are
Day 2396: I’m always intrigued by the geographical and climate variables that make glaciers in one place but not another. Specifically I wanted to see if there’s a direct correlation between annual precipitation and current glacial area i
Day 2395: When the weather isn’t perfect you sometimes have to work a little harder to get photos (especially if you’re in a whiteout), but the poor weather can also contribute to a much more dynamic scene. Wall to wall blue skies allow y
Day 2394: The North Cascades National Park Service Complex includes about 684,000 acres split between two recreation areas and the national park. In the last 20 years just over 10% of this entire area has burned (around 70,000 acres) with this year b
Day 2393: In the last year my frequency of airplane flights has gone up significantly. What this means is that instead of one or maybe two flights a year, I’ve taken like 3-4 airplane trips in 2026. While I don’t love the rigmarole associ
Day 2392: When does a glacier die? The official declaration of death may be like that of a human—when movement stops. When the seasonal respiration between snow and gravity pauses and the ice no longer flows. When the crevasses cease to travel,
Day 2391: The southeastern wall of North Cascades National Park doesn’t get that much attention, but when viewed from a bit of distance it’s particularly stunning. This ridge rises west of the Granite Creek drainage that carries Highway 2
Day 2390: Last weekend as we were walking on the trail we stumbled upon a smallish black bear hugging a tree (see second picture). We couldn’t figure out why the bear was just hanging at the base of the tree, but after a few minutes it lumbered
Day 2389: I love how terrain allows you to get completely different perspectives of the landscape. Today photographers frequently use drones to rise above the landscape, but in my mind drone photography is not too different from watching a film. Sure

“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.”
