20171118 ~ Stevens Canyon, Tatoosh Wilderness, GPNF

Perhaps you’ve been to Mount Rainier National Park, and visited the Box Canyon, along the Stevens Canyon highway. It’s an amazing formation – a very narrow slot canyon gouged into the bedrock beneath the unimaginable weight and pressure of a massive glacier. At certain points, one might imagine leaping across the narrowest points of the gorge, where the Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River has carved…

20170409 ~ Ohanapecosh Canyon & Big Bottom, GPNF

It’s been a few weeks now, but I spent a day exploring the lower reaches of Ohanapecosh Canyon at Lawiswis, then drove across the river for a very short ramble about the mouth of Stevens Canyon. Twice I was left yearning to follow the trail further. Biking down the road to the campground at Lawiswis was fun. Up again, not so much.

The views from Glacier View Wilderness are, understandably, amazing. It was a bit chilly this day, but that only added to the beauty.

Lower Falls on the Lewis River

  Lower Falls on the Lewis River is a place full of happy childhood memories.  Where as most people who go there are most familiar with this viewpoint and the nearby campground, I remember a time this campground was brand new and small, and very few people came this way.  90 road did not go all the way through back then, and upriver aways there was another…
