I am terrible at buying gifts for my friends and family. Year in and year out, while others see joy on the faces of the person opening their gift, I tend to see confusion and disappointment. Luckily, I think I may have figured out a solution for everyone this year. This year, I am doing things differently. Instead of buying something from a large store, I’ll be sharing thoughtful gifts made from extremely rad people. The gifts won’t just be enjoyed for a day, instead giving at least a year’s worth of memories.  The gifts I plan to give out will gifts that inspire adventure through beauty and creativity. With the following four products, I can be rest assured that I have amazing gifts for my nature-loving friends covered. 

There’s so much to do, see and enjoy all around the Olympic Peninsula.

From glacial alpine peaks to crashing ocean shores there’s a lifetime of outdoor adventure opportunities around every turn.

The end of summer doesn’t mean the end of Olympic Peninsula Enjoyment. On the contrary! The weather is optimal and the pace – is more RELAXED!

Hey, we made a shirt.
It’s beautiful dark grey with a dark orange/red design of a panorama of our two favorite mountains. And it’s on Teespring for a limited time.
Featuring a panorama of Mount Ellinor, our home mountain on the Olympic Peninsula and it’s taller, steeper, and harder to climb sibling Mount Washington.

I love Yellowstone National Park for many reasons. I love it for the bears and wolves, the bison and pronghorn, the elk and the mountain goats. I love it for Old Faithful, Norris Geyser Basin and Mount Washburn. I find myself yearning for another glimpse of Tower Falls, or gazing upon the beauty of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. I love Yellowstone for the adventure of getting their, for the beauty of the west and for the enchanting spell that the park and the road trip leaves on each and every person who goes. I love it so much, I wrote the best guidebook for those looking to explore the park from Seattle.
