Our little camper

Tyson had a break for a week so we decided to go on a little vacation to the North Cascades. It was beautiful there! Unfortunately our pictures don't do it justice at all but here are a few.

Newhalem Campground- We camped here two nights. This campground had over 100 sites but hardly anyone was there! We felt like we had it all to ourselves. We chose a campsite that was near a flush-able, yes flush-able,  toilets. We definitely felt spoiled. Sage was polite enough to pose for a picture just after we finished setting up camp.
                                           


Picket Range (behind us)


This our first hike- River Loop Trail
 


Things were growing everywhere, even new trees out a stump. Everything was sooo green.
 
We should have taken a picture of the little tiny town of Newhalem where this train is located. We had to stop at the store to get bugspray. It was the size of a gas station. 


This is on the way to the Ladder Creek Falls
 


These are "gardens" that used to have tropical fish in them.

 

These falls have lights that come on at night, changing the color of the falls. We hiked this around 9 pm.


 Uh, we don't remember the name of this peak but ain't it pretty!


Lower Newhalem Creek

 

 2nd night at our campsite, Sage wasn't ready for bed yet, although we had already laid her down! It was still pretty light around 9:30-10:00. Crazy!


Thunder Woods Trail-the last hike we did in the Newhalem area.

 
This video contains clips of Sage during our vacation. She was so fun.



We only saw a very tiny portion of this Washington National Park but we would definitely recommend it!
