• This is how I like to think of the Gorge. Cool, misty, and full of water and wonder. Not parched and ablaze due to the thoughtless actions of a few. This fire is making me so overwhelmingly sad, for the people who might lose their homes to the hikers who find peace and solace on the Gorge's trails. A huge thank you to all of the firefighters working to get this under control • #multnomahfalls #columbiariver #columbiarivergorge #thegorge #eaglecreekfire #columbiagorge #portland #portlandnw #portlandpdx #pdx #oregon #oregonnw #oregonexplored #pnw #pnwonderland #pnwdiscovered #cascadiaexplored • One more from Jökulsárlón to help me mentally prepare for the 100-degree weather on its way to Portland for Labor Day • #WeekenderInIceland #jökulsárlón #jokulsarlon #jökulsárlónglacierlagoon #jokulsarlonglacierlagoon #glacier #glacierlagoon #iceberg #iceland #ísland #island #bestoficeland #guidetoiceland #mytinyatlas #passionpassport #traveleriniceland #modernoutdoors #latergram #internationalfriendship2017 • The mountain that looks like an arrowhead • #WeekenderInIceland #gameofthrones #kirkjufell #snaefellsnespeninsula #snæfellsnespeninsula #iceland #island #bestoficeland #guidetoiceland #mytinyatlas #modernoutdoors #traveleriniceland #internationalfriendship2017 #latergram
