Still full from feasting yesterday and emotionally fried from all the family fun times?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What better way to work off that food baby than to take a walk outside. Benefits of taking a walk in the great outdoors include emotional and mental relief due to feeling connected to nature as well as other benefits like improved circulation and lower blood pressure . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Winter is comin in hot. Or I guess cold in the North Cascades.

❄️ The Western side of the Cascades can receive between 400-600 inches of snow in the higher elevations and between 50-75 inches in the lower elevations.

❄️ As winter approaches, it is important to check weather, avalanche and road conditions before heading out into a winter wonderland.

❄️ Make sure to bring extra layers, water and food for the cold conditions.

Snow fun times await! ❄️❄️ Who’s ready ☃️❄️🏂?!

November in the North Cascades brings rain, more rain, a patch of sun, just kidding more rain and ends with even more rain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
November is the second rainiest month in the North Cascades with an average of 7.4 inches. But for Washingtonians what’s a little rain?! There are still opportunities for outside fun, just don’t forget your raincoat and sunny disposition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is a photo of what it looks like when it’s not raining. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you still get outside even in the rain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌲 NEW BLOG POST🌲 "Affinity Weekend was successful at providing joyous opportunities for all forty-six participants from Outdoor Asian, Latino Outdoors, and some members of Outdoor Afro-Seattle...There was also time to simply take all the beauty in. To rest and recharge. To just be. What a vision it was to see all of that joy from folks who are normally not the majority!"
