Have you ever felt like you were in the Twilight Zone, having an experience completely disconnected from everyone around you? As someone easily swept up in “crowd mentality,” this isn’t usually something I experience but I got a good taste of it last night. Last night was, hands down, the worst concert I’ve ever been …

Yellowstone: Hiking Mallard Lake
This last weekend, we did a quick backpacking trip in Yellowstone National Park around Mallard Lake. The north entrance of Yellowstone is a quick hour and a half drive from Bozeman, making it ideal for a weekend trip! We have the America the Beautiful pass ($80 for one year), which waived our $35 entrance fee, …

Bozeman, MT: Wildlife
I’ve ended up seeing even more wildlife in the city than I did on my hike (maybe due to the animals being less wary of humans) and there are so many different types of birds and critters unlike what we find in the Seattle area that I thought it was worth a post. Below are …
Bozeman, MT: Hiking Blackmore Peak
This week I’m hanging out in Bozeman, Montana and started the trip off with a really hard hike to Blackmore Peak. We had the hike pitched to us as a moderately difficult 10 mile hike with some elevation and ended up recording 16 miles on the fitbit with 3700 ft of elevation gain. The trailhead …
Bear Safety
Since I’m in grizzly country this week, I did a bit of research on how to stay safe around bears and thought I would share it here! In Washington, we generally just have black bears, which you deal with differently in potentially dangerous situations. Hopefully, this is helpful! For this post, I used information from …
Bainbridge Ferry and International District
Last weekend, I took one of the Seattle ferries to Bainbridge to spend the night in Poulsbo. I didn’t spend much time exploring Poulsbo itself (I have in the past and hopefully will again soon) but it’s a really cute city branded as the “Viking City” – complete with murals, an annual Viking festival, and …

Hiking Dirty Harry’s Peak
For 4th of July, I went up to Dirty Harry’s Peak in the Cascades with a few friends after it was suggested to be less crowded than some other more popular hikes around the Seattle area. I’d done it a couple months back and forgotten how hard it was. It’s a 9.2 mile round trip …
