Hmm, can’t agree with you on this one: I dig the summer. But I dig it more now that I’m retired and I can hike on the weekdays and avoid all the other people who get out in the mountains on the weekends. My fav is finding hikes that no one else knows about. When I drive up to the trailhead and I’m the only one there, I know I’ve scored. Where were you anyway? I was down at Goat Rocks Wilderness last week; pretty fantastic.
It depends on where you live, and your life situation. I hate summers. Where I live they’re too hot and miserable, you can do absolutely nothing but staying home all day. If you have to work, it’s even worse. I think no one likes summer as an adult, at least around here😅
“Summer is the most performative” agreed! Every summer there is at least one chaos involving a festival, road trip, family visit or such usually at the height of summer when I’m mentally and physically exhausted.
Absolutely stunning photos, Skylar. What a hike. And I'm really into summer, with summer Solstice being my favorite 'holiday.' Mid summer nights.
haha thank you Jeanine! ❤️ and hey I'm definitely in the minority here so my grumblings are surely a me thing
Fabulous photos- so beautiful!! They made your brutal hike worth it for your subscribers.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them

Haha it’s definitely a me issue! We were at white pass and and pilot ridge, have you done that one?
No, I don’t get down to that area much honestly. It was a rarity for me to go south of Rainier.
oh no this is near the mountain loop highway https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/white-pass-pilot-ridge-loop
Oh interesting, I’ll look into it
No argument that summer is no time for hiking, unless you are up and out with the sun.
That walk of yours looks awesome, Skylar!
Very true! And thank you!
Gorgeous photos!
Thank you!
I agree about the crowds, but man, NW summers are the best on Planet Earth... (partly because we're bludgeoned into submission the rest of the year)
they definitely are the best no doubt, I still prefer the bludgeoning 😂 but they seriously are the best
agreed that summer sucks. Next summer tho let’s go hiking!!
why not in the fall??
