Second time today fishing with Cameron. The first time was back in November. We really wanted to…read moreget our kids on fish, but most guide services have a minimum age requirement and our youngest (she's 7 now) hadn't been able to get out there yet. Not only does he allow the young ones, he's absolutely wonderful with them! He helped her cast, reel, gave clear direction and was very encouraging. We ended up getting skunked back in November, but we planned a winter steelhead trip. That trip was today. Again, just amazing with our kids! Patient, kind, and participated with her back and forth banter. There's no other guide we'd rather go with. Today, the kids got their fish And we planned another trip for August and we're bringing some friends.

A very unique and beautiful area to visit!…read more The trailhead has a nice parking area, with bathrooms. The trail to the winding, aqua blue stream is wide and well maintained. You can view the main attraction from trails on both sides, as well as looking down from the bridge. We took the trails on both sides of the water. The trail across the bridge is much easier to traverse, and winds down to the (closed down) suspension bridge. The opposite side leads down beyond the suspension to the waters edge, but even to get down to that point isn't for the faint of heart. It includes a narrow, steep downhill trek...including a section over running water (with a wire handrail for support). Once you arrive at the water at the bottom you can view the suspension bridge above, and if you dare, the waterfall below. We did attempt to continue on a little ways down the trail from there, but as reviews describe, the next section is even steeper with a very loose and dangerous footing. I got vertigo trying to look over the edge at the falls right before that section, so continuing on was a huge no. I'm sure that many people without height woes have no issues moving on, but if you're like me, the trail ends there. This area is stunning. The waters and canyon are a site that pictures simply cannot do justice. Highly recommend!!

So I thought the trip was on another date I called and said I can't make it can we reschedule he scolded me telling me it cost him 700 dollars a day I said sorry but then found out I could. After that I asked when could I cancel to just make sure bc he was threatening me with cost of 700 if I missed the trip. I said I still want to go. I text week before the trip and he tells me he's not going to do it. I have a friend that flew out that cost 600 dollars. He was amped up from the start and difficult to work with. I don't care about the money I donated to the nonprofit bc that was the main reason I did it but now my friend is out 600 dollars.

I see that they have recently punched it through to connect to the Banks-Vernonia linear trail. Too lengthy to hike in one day and especially if you don't have a vehicle parked at the end. But it's a dandy bicycle ride. I've documented this entire trail on my hiking web site with regular updates on improvements. Thanks to Crown Zellerbach for providing the right of way for this trail.

One are I wish people with dogs would pick up after them. I pass several people every time I run with dog so if everyone would just do it the trail would be a better place. Yesterday I saw a bald eagle flying low right over my head. After years of running in the streets of Las Vegas this is a welcome change of scenery.

Such a fun cave to explore. We went prepared with water, coats, and two flashlights each with extra…read morebatteries. The small shop rents flashlights and sells sweatshirts if you forgot yours. We opted for the longer section of the cave, and it was a challenge! My young kids did well, but were asking where the end was after a while. They were not happy with the hike back to the car afterwards, although they did enjoy going. Make sure to reserve your spot online, I'm guessing it fills up on the weekends, we went on a weekday morning and it was getting more busy as we were leaving. If you turn right out of the parking lot and drive about a half mile or so there is a good viewpoint of Mt. Saint Helens. There isn't much around so be prepared with snacks or a picnic lunch. No food is allowed in the cave though.

This trail is not difficult, but the walk consists of very uneven surfaces, and because touching the walls is prohibited, it really works your balance. Headlamps or flashlights are a must, as are sturdy shoes, pants and a jacket - it's very cold in the cave. I had a severe allergic reaction to the cave, so next time I'll take allergy medicine. I definitely recommend taking your time to look around at the incredible cave ceilings and walls (But Don't Touch). Lastly, our Northwest Forest Pass covered all cost, but I've read reservations may be needed during busier times. So definitely due your homework and be prepared. Enjoy!!

Play Street Museum is located in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking. When we arrived, we were greeted and welcomed by the employees. It is a shoe-free place so make sure you're prepared to wear socks. I was impressed by the entire setup of Play Street Museum. It is very clean, accessible for all ages, and there is a variety of play options. The setup makes it easy to move around to each area. There is an airplane that has different realistic airplane sounds. There is a food/kitchen area, a veterinarian office, a home space with a kitchen and babies, an outer-space section, an ice cream truck, tables with different activities like drawing, sorting, building, and a large lego table. There is so much imaginative play options. All of the toys were clean and seemed new. There is also options to add extra activities like make your own slime, paint pottery, and dye a hat or apron. Play Street Museum also offers to host parties. We loved our hour and a half of play time at this awesome spot! At the end of your visit, the kids get to pick out a snack. I am looking forward to when a Play Street Museum opens close to my hometown because this was amazing! Thank you Play Street Museum Vancouver for a fun time!

What do you do when you've made drunken promises to a friend to go kayaking and don't own a kayak?…read more GO TO PADDLE SHACK (they're super nice!) As you may have gathered, I'm between kayaks right now and had promised a friend I'd join her on the water and there was NO WAY she'd let me out of it. That said, Paddle Shack totally saved me and they're incredibly nice! They were able to squeeze me in even though I didn't have a reservation, and the rental included everything you could need (kayak, paddle, life jacket, whistle). Not only that, but they also make sure your PFD fits securely and that you won't be sinking off to the watery depths. When I say it includes everything, that also includes some much appreciated assistance getting in and out of the kayak! One of the smoothest experiences I've ever had kayaking and the bay is beautiful. If you get a chance, I super recommend this place whether you've got a kayak or not (and they're super nice! They also have a loyalty card where you can earn a free hour of kayaking!). Thanks Paddle Shack! Looking forward to seeing you soon!!
