A full month in Washington…while Washington has been a favorite state to visit over the last 15 years, after this trip it may be my #1 for chasing summits. The peaks, the views, the wildflowers, the rivers, all of it left quite the impression this trip, the North Cascades in particular has become one of my favorite places of all time. I’m already hoping for another month in WA next year.
