Oh hey! It's time again to talk about the weekend!
Things were pretty busy in these parts with home things and baby shower things, but I was thrilled to get out and experience some nature on Saturday with an amazing hike. I set out bright and early with a friend who loves exploring and has recently taken up hiking with some serious passion.
The destination was Angel's Rest which is just under 5 miles round trip (elevation 1,500 feet) and is about 30 minutes away from my doorstep.
We'd had some rainy weather in Portland during the week, so it was a pleasant surprise to be blessed with such blue skies and not much competition out on the trails in the early morning.
There's nothing like the feeling when you get to the top of a mountain. Physically and mentally you feel alive! Let these less than perfect iPhone photos give you just a hint at what I saw this weekend!
Then come to Portland and let me show you in person!

Kicking is so bomb.com, I love it! We don't have anything as awesome as your hike near me, but we travel to find pretty places. I might be going hiking this weekend, whoop whoop!
Your pictures are fabulous lady!
Breath taking pictures. Glad the weather was nice for you on the weekend.
I love a good hike, but definitely never have anything as scenic as this to look at (and motivate)! Super lucky girl :)
So so pretty! Jealous that you have all that amazing scenery so close to you!
Gorgeous photos!!
So gorgeous!! No, Oklahoma has nothing like this haha.

Gorgeous! Too hot to hike here right now, and not hear as pretty.
member that one time we almost killed, mel? member that?!
I'm totally jealous that you live in a place where these views are available right in your backyard!
My friend's fiancé proposed up there! Isn't that cute!
I need to get out and conquer this trail soon. It's been on my Gorge to do list and I haven't made time for it yet. I think this week may just work out for a morning hike!
Ahh I need to do that hike when the weather is nice/clear! I've done it when it's gloomy/rainy which is not a fun experience (can we talk slippery mossy mud/rocks and freezing cold whipping wind?!). Looks like you had a great time! If you guys go on another weekend hiking adventure I'd love to tag along :-)
Count me in! That looks like an amazing hike!!
Wow that is breathtaking! I wish there was scenery around here like that!
so beautiful! can't wait to do it with you one day :)
Ummmmm absolutely gorgeous girl!
Beautiful views!! If you ever get bored of Portland there's some pretty spectacular mountains to climb in BC!!!
What an incredible view!
I'M ON MY WAY! But I'd rather check out YOU than the mountains... ;P
YUP. Come visit & I'll show you! JK, I'm homeless. Maybe if I don't hear back from any in-person jobs in the next week I'll say fuck apartment hunting and spend my money I would've spent on rent on a plane ticket/wining and dining you.
Gorgeous pics!!! Im hopping on a plane now haha. Hope you are well babes I too have been super busy so I totally feel ya!
