Disabled Hiker Confession Time: So, I actually haven't been hiking much. I finally moved through an intense pain episode but I have been so tired and my limited energy reserves have had to go towards other commitments. It sure can be tough when your reality and your work and advocacy are so intertwined - its exhausting on it's own sometimes. Solidarity with everyone in the struggle. I'm also not into painting some well curated picture of myself. But the pressure to do so is so real. Respect to everyone trying to figure that out. What I have been doing while I've been busy "not hiking" (🤪) is going for car-based adventures with short strolls. I can go about a 1/4 mile before I need to rest right now. Thankfully, there is so much beauty so close when we look for it. This is what keeps me going. This is my wish for you, too. 🌹 Close up images of several wildflowers blooming at Tahoma (Mount Rainier). #disabledhikers #disabledhiker #confessions #disabledandoutdoors #wildflowers #tahoma #mtrainier #motherofwaters #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #eds

Latourell Falls . I visited the Columbia River Gorge for the first time since the fires - it was an emotional experience. And I have never seen so many people at this waterfall! But with so much of the area still closed, it seems that the open areas will have increased traffic. I have mixed feelings about this, admittedly, but I encourage you to visit if you can. . Trail review will be posted soon. . Ancestral land of the Chinook Nation . #disabledhikers #latourellfalls #columbiarivergorge #oregon #waterfall

I saw this beauty with a juvenile at Point Defiance park recently. Have you had any surprise sightings this summer? #barredowl #pointdefiance #pointdefiancepark #disabledhikers

Urban grazing. Though I've accepted that I'm a country dweller at heart, it is equally joyful and satisfying to find familiar friends in an urban environment. Gratitude for place that has taught me so much. The osoberry is so plentiful this year! #disabledhikers #urbanhikes #urbanwalks #urbangrazing #lovewhereyoulive #becomingplaced #beautyeverywhere

OLYMPIA! I hope to see you Sunday for our group hike. Woodard Bay is one of my favorite places in Olympia. It is so peaceful and we're sure to see many kinds of birds and wildlife.

Mountains call us to something higher, something whole, something mysterious. They call us home. Video from Hurricane Hill of the Olympic Mountains. #mountains #olympicpeninsula #heartofthemountains #hurricanehill #olympicmountains #disabledhiker
