Hiking Naches Peak Loop, Mount Rainier
Naches Peak Loop is my favorite Hike since we've lived here (so far)! This hike is about three miles long round trip. There is about 600 feet of elevation gains. If you take it slow I think the younger kiddos will be fine, Aurora did the whole thing without asking to be carried!

Hiking the Grand Canyon South Rim
"We must take adventures to discover where we truly belong". I have never seen something nature made that is as beautiful as the Grand Canyon. Out of all the places I've traveled, there isn't anything else even comparable to the ambiance and uniqueness of it.

Springtime Cruise on South Lake Tahoe
