That, mixed with a stunning hike, makes King Canyon definitely in my top 5 National Parks. Was also lucky enough to bump into a wide cast of critters, squirrels, chipmunks, Hawks,…

Van Life Day 2 + 3
The day started out with me leaving my buddy Evan’s house and hitting the road for Coeur D’alene. I have some grandparents that live in Bayview that I wanted to go visit before heading out for Leavenworth. It was a decent Length drive and I ended up meeting my grandparents for pizza, which was absolutely…
