Living in the Pacific Northwest has given me a key appreciation of nature. As often as possible, I like to get out and explore the abundant natural beauty of the U.S. Right now, I’m working on visiting all 17 National Natural Landmarks in Washington State.

Thus far, I have visited Boulder Park, Davis Canyon, Drumheller Channels, and the Ginkgo Petrified Forest. Next on my list is Grand Coulee. The Grand Coulee is an ancient river bed that displays many geological events and time periods. Grand Coulee camping is supposed to be an incredible experience with ample opportunities for hiking, boating and exploring. The weather is really starting to warm up out here so I anticipate that I will make it to Grand Coulee soon.
