Northwest Livin': Summer Road Trip

http://northwestlivin.blogspot.com/2014/10/summer-road-trip.html

Friday, October 3, 2014. Summer road trips are one of my favorite things. When October rolls around I can't help but start planning trips for the next year. If you're like me, put a Wyoming road trip on your list for next summer. My two top reasons are: Alpine Canyon and the Wind River Range. Is 8 miles of classic class III whitewater on the Snake River near Jackson, WY. It's awesome for kayaking, rafting, stand up paddle boarding, and surfing waves like Lunch Counter and Big Kahuna. Camping in the Cirque.

Northwest Livin': July 2013

http://northwestlivin.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Catching the early morning tide. Every afternoon we rolled up to a new island, set up camp, and found a nice beach to relax on. There were some fun hiking trails, beautiful viewpoints, and incredible sunsets. I also spent some time looking at all the other islands on the map. There are so many to explore and it would be possible to make a trip as difficult or leisurely as you want. So many options! Christie G. Eastman. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Christie G. Eastman.

Sunday, August 25, 2013. Inspired by Christie and Drew's trip a few years ago, I have been crossing my fingers for a permit for the Enchantments. I was lucky enough to get a cancellation permit this year for the Colchuck Zone. Thrilled, Nick and I dusted off our packs and headed to Leavenworth. The hike to Colchuck Lake was a nice cruise with some beautiful scenery. Bright and Early at the Trailhead. Colchuck Lake was Quiet with our Early Start. Check out how little Colchuck Lake is!

Northwest Livin': March 2014

http://northwestlivin.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 2, 2014. India Part IV: Rakhi in Rishikesh. Growing up as the middle children of the family, my younger brother, Jake, and I have had our fair share of sibling rivalry. Although we had a lot of common interests including playing the guitar, skiing, and family whitewater rafting trips, our favorite pastime was tormenting each other. Here is me trying to make a buck,. And Jake drinking all of my Kool-Aid. Check out Jake's river stories from the trip! Christie G. Eastman.

Wednesday, October 30, 2013. India Part III: The Upper Indus. This section of the Indus had continuous. Class IV to IV read and run rapids, my favorite kind of kayaking! Jacob running a big boulder drop rapid on the Upper Indus. The problem with being in the middle of nowhere India is that you don't really have the option of walking off the river alone if you're having a bad day. My peace of mind relied heavily on the “safety in numbers” rationale so I felt strongly that we should stick t...Http:/ www&#4...
