Mushrooms of the Cascades!

I’m always on the lookout for interesting finds on our hikes. There’s a hike by Diablo Lake called Thunder Knob Trail. Believe it or not I found all of these mushrooms within the first quarter mile of this hike! Every step there was something to discover. #fantasticfungi

Welcome to the North Cascades National Park! Locat

Welcome to the North Cascades National Park! Located in the NW corner of Washington state, the Cascade mountain range ‘cascades’ down from Canada, through Washington and into Oregon. The Cascades create the distinct landscapes Washington is known for. West of the Cascades, the climate is what you think of when you think of the Pacific NW. Dense green forests with towering trees, fern forest floors and cool misty air. East is drier, warm and where most of the farms and wineries are located.

North Cascades National Park is located at the northern part of the Cascades, very close to Canada. There are beautiful lakes, like Diablo Lake and Ross Lake, set among a stunning mountain landscapes. There are plenty of places to hike and kayak as you explore the park. Ross Dam Trail and the Thunder Knob Trail.

We also took a drive down to Lake Chelan. They have a GREAT state park with full hook ups right on the lake. We had fun playing in the lake and taking a hike to get the view from above! Little Bear Trail – Bitterbrush Loop

Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park

Part 1 - A hike through the rainforest

It is one of the largest temperate rainforest in the US and receives about 150" of rain annually! The Hoh River snakes through the Hoh River Valley (glacier made) where we were lucky enough to spot elk. Mosses, ferns and giant hemlocks and spruce grow in abundance, happy and green. What a neat place to explore!
