Every year we've been trying to explore more of the Washington coast, and on this trip we went from Rialto Beach to Cedar Creek. It's about a 10 mile hike along the beach to get there.
But beach walking is a lot different than mountain walking. On paper it looks pretty easy but between the slick seaweed-covered rocks and me mis-timing the tide charts, it was way more difficult than it should've been 😂

I've had the Alpine Lakes High Route on my list of loops to complete for years now, so when we had the chance to do it, we decided to add on La Bohn Lakes and Mt Hinman as well (cuz why not?). Well, the heat absolutely wiped me out on day 1 which made me think I wasn't going to be able to complete the loop.
Luckily the second day we woke up to fog which helped to keep me cool while we did Hinman, and after that we were pretty much halfway through the loop already so we decided to push on and complete the loop. I'm so glad we did, the route was stunning the entire time and there are so many lakes to enjoy!

Alright hikers, we have a challenge for you this summer! The goal is to get you out exploring harder to reach areas while we raise money to support our local trails association, the Washington Trails Association!
The goal is to hike over 50,000 feet of elevation gain between now and September 2nd. Can you pull it off??
For joining our challenge, you'll receive a t-shirt and you'll be supporting the WTA. Each month we will also be doing gear giveaways so every time you submit your elevation gain for the month, you'll automatically be entered into the giveaways.
On our last day in Glacier National Park, we found the brightest blue lake I have ever seen. The hike wasn't too challenging either, about 12 miles roundtrip with a couple thousand feet of elevation gain. The winds is what was challenging, we had over 50mph sustained winds with gusts over 65mph. At the lake we all were getting blown around like we were nothing!
The photo of the larger lake is Lake Sherburne and those waves were massive! I never knew how windy Glacier can get, but I'll tell you that if you backpack there, make sure you have a very sturdy tent....

Always Chasing Adventure- in Health, and in the Field
For us, it all began in the mountains...or lack-of mountains, if we are being honest. I was deep in my studies on human movement when I was struck down by an illness that left me stuck in bed instead of playing in the mountains. This is where the journey to discover root causes of issues internally began.
I tried many of the traditional modalities to kick the illness: antibiotics, medications, and more, and nothing helped at all. All the lab tests that were done came back normal, but the fact I couldn’t even get out of bed, or lift my head, was proof enough that something was not normal.
It wasn’t until a holistic practitioner tested me for fungal/mold issues that my world changed. 1 protocol in 5 days completely reversed my issues, and after 8 days I was back in the mountains, enjoying my favorite hobbies once again.
It was in this moment I decided to study functional nutrition, functional neurology, Chinese medicine, and more. I knew my background in human movement would cover much of the external issues within the body, but I needed to understand the inner workings of the body. Everything is connected, and must be looked at equally.
Summit Integrative Wellness came about because of this need to look at the entire body, inside and out. We have dedicated ourselves to helping others in chronic conditions to find ways to recover, and to become the selves they wish to be again. We are also playing in the world of online courses, where we have other practitioners develop courses to bring to you!
