Hike of the Week
"Is that all there is?" That was our initial reaction upon standing on the summit of Round Mountain in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. It's a nice hike, but it fell a bit short of our expectations after a spectacular summer of hiking to places like Sahale Arm and Burroughs Mountain.

You could say inhabitants of the Long Beach Peninsula, on Washington's southwest coast, are obsessed with mushrooms. After all, how many food festivals do you know of like the peninsula's Wild Mushroom Festival that last an entire month?

Short Trips
PROSSER -- It wasn't just the fragrance of the wine crush I noticed here late last month. Love was in the air -- along with some hot-air balloons.
Richard Gary and his fiancee, Kelly Regan, told me that not even an early morning breeze could stop them from getting married in the gondola of a hot-air balloon on a chilly Friday morning over the Prosser Airport.

I braced myself for the infamous "Catwalk," catching my breath as I peered over the edge of the exposed knife-sharp ridge.
It dropped steeply on both sides. Thousands of feet below, the Hoh River caressed and deepened the U-shaped valleys as it meandered around Mount Olympus.
A mountain goat that followed us eyed me with suspicion, likely wondering why I was blocking a path he so obviously had marked as his own.
I wondered that, too, as I picked my way across the steep ridge connecting Cat Peak with Mount Carrie.
