When I'm not embarking on human-powered adventures, I'm writing about them. Say hi to me the next time you're in Seattle!
Walk the Canemah Bluff Loop
Oregon City, Oregon
4.5
1.6 mi
/ 200 ft gain
You'll never stumble upon Canemah Park unless you're really looking for it. Tucked away in the hills of Oregon City above the Locks, this residential park has a miniature-sized set of everything you'd expect in a children's park: Playground, picnic benches, bathrooms, and wide, forested trails. Dogs are only allowed on leash in the vicinity of the actual park, but to reach the Canemah Bluff Ove...

I’d recommend setting up camp for 1-2 nights as a base camp at the Upper Canyon Creek Lake, where you have the be...
Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail
North Bend, Washington
27.57 mi
/ 3609 ft gain
This beautiful tucked-away trail offers runners, hikers, and backpackers a new view of their favorite neighboring peaks - like Mailbox Peak and Mt. Si - from one of the most scenic river trails in the Seattle area.
Often overlooked in favor of more rigorous hikes, the Middle Fork is a gently graded single-track that winds in and out of the forest and follows the Snoqualmie River all the way to...
