Adrenaline junkies flood the Columbia River during the summer months with sails and kites in an attempt to master the wind. Other visitors take advantage of the endless trails through the Gifford Pinchot and Mount Hood National Forests. Some sip their days away at the wineries and brew pubs throughout the town of Hood River. What did I do? I went underground. Down into a dark, little hole with a helmet and a headlamp. That's right, I went spelunking.

I've always wanted to go to Whistler. The problem is, I'm a terrible skier and I hate the cold. The only
forms of frozen water I voluntarily embrace are the cubes that float in
my drinks. So what would make the drive north to Whistler worth it? Summer. I assumed ski resorts boarded up when the days got longer, but there's actually more
to do at Whistler once the mountains have thawed.
