Get to know us.

I am Cynthia. Whether I’m exploring the wilderness or seeking breathtaking views, you will often find me accompanied by my four-legged companion, Tex.

I am an outdoor enthusiast and photographer based in Seattle, WA with a passion for backpacking, hiking, camping, paddling and climbing. I went on my first camping trip in 2018 and did a solo road trip down to Utah and never looked back. While there are tons of resources available online, it can feel overwhelming. I want to provide you with all the information you need to embark on your own adventures.

From trail conditions to scenic highlights, I strive to capture the essence of each experience, so others can fully immense themselves in the wonders of nature.

Stay tuned for my latest trip reports, and let's embark on unforgettable journeys together!

No words are needed for what a beautiful hike this was during sunrise. This hike has been on my bucket list for years but having a sedan meant I could never drive up this road. Before leaving for this camping trip, I wasn’t sure what the cond
Had an amazing time exploring the Central Cascades this weekend. This isn’t an area I frequent often and this was only the second time I have driven on Highway 2 past the Beckler River Campground. The first time being heading to Leavenworth a f
A few shots from the Mountain Leadership II course with @climbersofcolor a couple weekends back. That weekend still felt unreal. I’ve spent most of my summers hiking and backpacking, hoping one day I will be able to summit a volcano in Washing
Alone time in the woods with Tex up to a familiar area but a brand new trail. I’ve always avoided this one because 1) it’s a u-shaped type of elevation gain hike and 2) parking is always a problem. I see tons of cars lined up on the sid
Squeezed in a little hike this past week. This hike is generally super popular but I suppose going on an overcast Friday afternoon/evening was the way to go. I saw a few backpacker all set up for the night and it made me truly miss having the freedom
