I saw your question about the best hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything near Mount Rainier. The Skyline Trail is a classic, but it gets crowded early. If you want something quieter, try the Carbon River area. The rainforest there is surreal. I did a loop there last spring and saw almost no one. The parking lot is small though, so plan to get there before 8am. Also bring layers because the weather changes fast. One minute it's sunny, the next you're in a cloud. Oh and make sure you have a National Parks pass if you're going to Rainier. The entry fee is per car, so it pays for itself if you visit a few times. Let me know if you want a list of gear recommendations. I swear by my waterproof boots, they make all the difference on muddy sections. pqm0q8PYpx And don't forget to download offline maps, cell service is spotty. Anyway, hope you have a great time out there!

Hey, thanks for asking about the book I mentioned last week. It's called "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. The writing is so lush and the story just pulls you in. I finished it in two days because I couldn't put it down. If you like magical realism and a slow-burn romance, you'll love it. There's also a companion book called "The Starless Sea" which I've heard is even better, though I haven't read it yet. Let me know if you want a copy, I can lend you mine. pqm0q8PYpx Also, the audiobook version is fantastic if you prefer listening during commutes. The narrator's voice really adds to the atmosphere. I actually have the ebook if you want the file. Just send me your email and I'll share it. Anyway, hope you give it a chance!
