A while back I took a hike with my dad and my little sister to Mount Saint Helens, and took Dipper along with me! I forgot to post these!

Tho not to long ago i went hiking there again with @doubtingsalmon!

She’ll be putting up some pictures from her @travelinstan blog so I’ll be roblogging those when she puts those up! :D

Took a little journey to the unknown this past week to Denver and Red Rocks Amphitheater for a Lord Huron show!

Friday was a hike on Mount Falcon’s Castle Trail!

Went on a sunset hike with a friend on North Table Mountain and learned it doesn’t matter how in shape you are when there isn’t enough oxygen. PHEW. A gorgeous view, though, so it was worth it!

Also: that “GASP who was that signing” in the video is me being a bird nerd. Lol

Tried to get some plant IDing and birding in while I was there, so I went to a couple of parks. This was Prospect Park! I didn’t realize Denver was just chock full of cottonwoods, and I’m now obsessed with their bark.

This was my first time going to Red Rocks and it was so so cool! Such a neat place as it is, and even better when you’re there for a show. Would love to go back again for another concert, but also just to explore the venue.

STARLA FOREVER!!

Managed to get out of the house for a little bit yesterday and tromp around a local nature spot.

Oh hey! Went on a hike a few weeks ago, and it was a lovely, lovely time!

First stop was Hogpen Gap, and a brief treck on the Appalachian Trial.

[travelinstan]

Second stop was Ravencliff Falls! Hike turned out to be a looooot longer than anticipated, but the scenery was gorgeous!

Pt 1 pics.

Part two of Arabia Mountain! AM is home to an endangered species of succulent called Diamorpha Smallii, also known as Elf Orpine. It’s bright red and blooms in the spring time before it totally dies off to survive the summer heat. Much of the plant was already pretty dry and crunch, but I was delighted to see some patches still in bloom.

Hope everyone is warm and toasty this holiday season! 🎄🕎

More Line Creek pics!

Went to Arabia Mountain a few weeks ago. An easy hike until you get to the mountain itself, but aside from being steep, it’s still easy going. Lovely spot, just a bit ruined by the steady traffic going by.

Finally at the falls! They would’ve been more impressive, but it had been pretty dry leading up to the hike.
