This trip was the second part of a longer 2.5-week itinerary combining a road trip over parts of Washington State and an Alaskan Cruise. Each part of this trip could be done as separate itineraries, which is why I split them up in this manner…

This trip was the first part of a longer 2.5-week itinerary combining a road trip over parts of Washington State and an Alaskan Cruise. Each part of this trip could be done as separate itineraries, which is why I split them up in this manner.

Nugget Falls (also known as Nugget Creek Falls or Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall [or “the waterfall by Mendenhall” as I’d like to refer to it]) was by far the waterfall highlight…

The Glacier Bay Waterfalls page is basically my excuse to showcase the beauty of Glacier Bay National Park (especially on a sunny day) along with many of its unnamed cascades spilling into bay…

And in this case, we saw a convergence of glaciers unlike we had ever seen before. Yet the beauty of this place and its more-or-less intact ecosystem could easily move anyone appreciative…

Comet Falls could be arguably Mt Rainier National Park’s most beautiful waterfall (though I could easily see how Spray Falls or Narada Falls could challenge that assertion). It’s said to plunge at…

Van Trump Falls is a waterfall that I’m giving special attention to because it can easily be confused with Comet Falls without any prior research. The waterfall you see pictured…

Christine Falls is probably going to be the first waterfall you’ll encounter after passing through the Nisqually Entrance of Mt Rainier National Park. That’s because the road between Nisqually…

Narada Falls was Julie’s favorite waterfall in Mt Rainier National Park. That was saying something considering that I could have argued in favor of Comet Falls or Spray Falls…

Myrtle Falls gave us that rare opportunity to photograph a waterfall in front of Mt Rainier – Washington’s most iconic mountain. Apparently, it’s for this reason alone that makes this waterfall…

Martha Falls was a waterfall that got to see from a distance across Stevens Canyon. Even though we saw a tiny trail along the Stevens River deep in the canyon, we had run out of time…

It was at this point that I gave serious thought to turning back rather than take the risk, but I knew that I might regret never seeing the waterfall the way it should be seen after having gone…

Spray Falls took me a bit of work to reach while also requiring a bit of risk to see it as you see on the photo above. So your experience at this falls could be a fulfilling one, a disappointing…

Rocky Brook Falls might have been Julie’s favorite waterfall on the Olympic Peninsula. In addition to exceeding her expectations of what she thought was a relatively obscure and unknown waterfall…

Beaver Falls was a waterfall we almost gave up on because it was one of the more obscure waterfalls on our trip to the Olympic Peninsula thanks in part because there were no signs indicating its…

Sol Duc Falls probably was the one waterfall that best embodied the rainforest feel of Olympic National Park as far as we were concerned. I’ve also seen this waterfall referred to as Soleduck…

Madison Falls was probably one of the easiest waterfalls for us to visit. But despite its ease of access, this was also one of the prettier waterfalls we had seen…

Marymere Falls was a waterfall that we knew had a lot of fanfare prior to our visit. So it was no surprise to us that it was certainly one of the more popular waterfalls as its car park was…

And so we were stuck at the Hilton with an increasingly fussy baby (she didn’t have a good rest and she was not comfortable with the unfamiliar surroundings and people) and time running out…

This was a weekend backpacking trip that began and ended at Lake Sabrina. The ultimate main goal of this physical challenge was to get as far as the Hungry Packer Lake, which was one of several lakes of glacial origin in the area. The Eastern Sierra was full of these kinds…
