Dreams of Summer

It's been super cold in Seattle lately. Actually it's been unusually cold for this time of year; it got down to -5 C at one point! It was kinda cool to see Cascadia all frozen like that.

But all I've been doing is hiding indoors wearing everything fleece and wool and drinking hot tea mug after mug and thinking of summer. All I want is to experience that amazing feeling of warm sun on my bare skin.... 

It is hard to imagine I was on that hammock just several months ago...

The closest I can get to feeling like summer is to look through my photo library and remember the fun hikes that I've done in the past few summers. I decided to dedicate the next many posts to my favorite hikes of the Pacific Northwest and also my favorite adventures that have been had in those mountains.
