There are so many avenues for year-round adventure. Escape to national parks in the winter that offer some beautiful and unique experiences, without the crowds that follow in busier seasons.

Some of places to travel are found in this pocket of The Evergreen State. Along with it, I found an abundance of natural beauty, peace and quiet. Mix that with a bowl of kind communities and you’ve quite the road trip in store.

There’s a lot of ways to travel but few will provide memories and experiences that the seasonal life does. Most of mine have been amazing, thankfully. If you’re lucky, you can find community in these beautiful places.
