Adventures on Mount Baker: Summiting Washington’s Third Tallest Volcano

3 weeks ago | nwtravelmag.com | Alec Sills-Trausch

Sometime around 2:30 a.m., I awoke. Zack, our guide with Cascade Mountain Ascents, knocked on the tent and said softly, “it’s time to get up.” I fumbled with my sleeping bag’s zipper, opened up my bag, and released my warmth into the chilly air. I moved carefully inside the tent as I dressed, making sure to stay on my sleeping bag and pad. If I didn’t, I’d end up sitting on the hardened snow that surrounded us at basecamp.

Grizzly Safari in the B.C. Wilderness

2 months ago | nwtravelmag.com | Lauren Kramer

The early morning mist is swirling above the aquamarine water of the Chilko River, and I wake before dawn to the sound of a large animal moving swiftly through the water directly below my safari tent. I’m in the Cariboo Chilcotin region of British Columbia, a mountainous wilderness dotted with turquoise lakes and rivers and all but untouched by time. This is grizzly bear country, and the footsteps belong to a large bear who is trolling the riverbank in search of salmon, just 300 feet away from me.
