I've been doing this for years - hiking, biking, camping...anything that gets me away from civilization. As a Scout Den Leader I get to return the favor and bringing in another generation into hiking.5

Your pics are stunning! I would love to hike out there, although I am very nervous to leave my safe-ish Maine where things like grizzlies and poisonous snakes are concerned.

I don't have mountains here in the midwest, but some great forests, rivers, and lakes along with some hills that offer more than enough for a fat old man. I can't do the tough trails right now, but just being out in the fresh air and not able to hear or see cars or civilization is really calming.2

A little zen meditation break during the hikes is a wonderful gift to one's mind. Hearing one's breath only and filling the ears with all the sounds around like a sponge is a wonderful way to de-stress and be mindfully alive.

Few more from Cascade Pass Sunday. Started out with sunshine and blue skies, left under a building storm.
From the trailhead parking lot:
Approaching the pass, looking west.
Looking down on the pass.

Looks like a little new snow on the peaks! We were supposed to get some of that here in MT. It definitely got cooler. Hopefully we can get some moisture to help with the fires.1 -
Did this Moderate trail, Poo Poo Point, today. I did this same trail 3 months back when I started hiking this summer; I did it in half the time today. Pleased with the progress on fitness but I know I got some ways to go.

As a family we've been hiking a lot more lately and I love it. If weather holds we will be hiking Quandary Peak next weekend. 6.75 miles, 3450 foot elevation gain to stand 14,265' above sea level. We are also in Colorado and I love the trails we have access to here.
Here's some pictures from our other hikes:

This is the best (hard) trail I have been to, so far. So totally worth it.

PNW is beautiful for hiking when the weather is good. I used to hike in winter, too, just lots layers. Enjoy those hikes. I live in a place now where a 300ft elevation is considered "hike".0

PNW is indeed awesome. I am beginning to plan for snow hikes. Was just thinking about getting gear for snow and ice.
I was also in that sort of a 300ft location myself till about a year ago
