We took advantage of the great weather this weeken

We took advantage of the great weather this weekend and did our first overnight kayaking trip. The Willamette River Water Trail has 187mi of river to explore with many camping options for multi-day trips. We chose the stretch that runs between Albany and Independence, which is great for beginners. We had a few swift moments but nothing that felt out of our comfort zone. We did two half days (~8mi each day) and camped at an island in the middle of the river. The only unexpected thing for us was that unseen homes off the river can have parties late into the night with a live band blaring music…then roosters may crow from 5am-6am….and then in the same exact place, a biplane can do a full on air and water show (with full volume as well) at 7am. We may not have slept much, but it was a great first trip with tons of scenic clouds reflecting off the water! #willametteriver #willametteriverkayaking #willametteriverwatertrail #kayaking #nwkayaking #eddylinekayaks

For the final week of summer break, we headed home

For the final week of summer break, we headed home to Portland and decided to grab the kayaks. We had wanted to do our first overnight kayaking trip along the Willamette, but with the high temps, we decided instead to head to higher elevation at Mt Hood. We took advantage of the smaller crowds midweek to kayak two of the more popular lakes, Trillium Lake and Lost Lake. Man, these places must be crazy on weekends! It was fun to have relaxed days to take in these lakes with nice views of Mt Hood. A nice finale to the summer:) #mthoodnationalforest #lostlake #trilliumlake #kayaking #eddylinekayaks

Teton Crest Trail, Pt 4: Up over the 10,700ft Pain

Teton Crest Trail, Pt 4: Up over the 10,700ft Paintbrush Divide and then the long descent (over 4,000ft) down to String Lake via Paintbrush Canyon. Haze moved in from fires in surrounding states that gave an eerie sepia tone to the day. The decent was pretty rocky and made for slower progress than usual. Our spirits were lifted as we reached the bottom and came across both a bull moose (20yds from trail) and later a mama black bear (brown in color) and two cubs that were thankfully further away. A cool way to end the trip! #tetoncresttrail #grandtetonnationalpark #backpacking

Teton Crest Trail, Pt 3: The section over Hurrican

Teton Crest Trail, Pt 3: The section over Hurricane Pass and down into South Fork Cascade Canyon is a hiker amusement park. Grand views, cascading waterfalls, marmots abound, towering mountains, snow fields, and of course more wildflowers. It was our favorite day of the trip and ended with our favorite campsite of the trip. We were perched on a rock outcrop in the center of the canyon with Grand, Middle, and South Teton mountains (left to right) on Hurricane Pass. degree views. It really doesn’t get much better! #tetoncresttrail #grandtetonnationalpark #backpacking

Teton Crest Trail, Pt 2 (panoramic edition)The middle section of the 40mi TCT has varied landscapes. We got lucky with a permit that allowed us to camp on the highly sought after Death Canyon Shelf. It’s a unique 4mi stretch walking atop a cliff with a rock wall lining one side of the trail and a massive drop looking down Death Canyon 2,000ft below on the other. The scenery then quickly changes as the trail drops down into the expansive rocky Alaska Basin. It was hard to capture in pictures how impressive these two sections are to walk through. #tetoncresttrail #tetonsnationalpark #tetons #backpacking #panorama
