Someone fell off this like the day after I was here and died, since we’re posting sketchy hikes.

The first hike I posted has had like 13 people fall and die since 2000 something , with the amount of people who summit it each year, I like those odds

I hear it’s crazy lines and a lottery to even do it these days.

There is a lottery, so truly hoping we get lucky and can get a permit. I hear if you go early in the morning it’s not too crowded. Wish me luck.

Mt Storm King is def on my bucket list as a WA resident. I've done a few hikes this past spring so far. Just some easy, moderate and somewhat close ones, Poo Poo Point, Little Si, Explorer Falls and another ones whose name escapes me.

Super jealous of your adventures! Looks like you’ve done quite a bit. What’s your favorite place you’ve been? And if you don’t mind me asking, where do you reside ?

I’d love to see many of these amazing places in South America, those flights are no joke tho, Patagonia is def on my bucket list .

Favorite place I’ve hiked was in Banos, Ecuador and Macchu Picchu.

Speaking of Patagonia, I’m hoping I can make it this year to Antarctica and do the hike there.

I’m actually in Atlanta. I love traveling to South America for that very reason.

In March we were in Grindelwald, Switzerland and hiked to Bachalpsee lake at Grindewald First. I don’t think we realized, even with all the snow, that the lake would be frozen over and covered with snow when we arrived, honestly when I booked the trip I had no idea what the weather would be like, and there was NOT snow like this in the town.

I know in these pictures it looks very flat but there were quite a few very steep uphill portions, and being at 7000 feet above sea level while hiking uphill in snow…. I think it may have been the most physically and mentally challenging thing I’ve ever done. The snow really added to it being physically demanding. There were not many other people on the trail. Did see a few people with dogs though.

The “lake” lol
