The End of Sweet Summertime in Washington

Join me for the final days of the best summer mountain road trip through Washington state, finishing this ultimate adventure in Mount Rainier National Park. We'll be soaking up the forests, mountains, meadows and lakes through an itinerary full of my top hikes, swim spots, trails and campsites. Swimming, hiking, and camping are my favorite ways to say goodbye to the land. This time exploring washington in my van has been so special, from the trail to the lake to an amazing camp spot in the trees and old growth forest of the pacific northwest. As always with this nature nerd, we'll be learning about plenty of botany facts, volcano geology, wildlife spotting, and wildflower identification... experiencing the lush meadow of western Mt Rainier in Paradise.

Leaving the PNW really be hurting my heart :,) it’s hard to leave but my van will rust and mold in the rain so it’s time! help soften the emotional and financial blow by checking out my stickers hehe

[@edmundburkburk]

Your van won't rust or mold. We rarely use salt on the roads here, which is the main culprit anyway. An occasional car wash will remedy the rest. If your heart is hurting, then perhaps it's trying to tell you you need to stay. Listen to it.

[@calilenz3476]

Kaylan, you have amazing poetic narration skills that you have married your soul to with all of natures beauty. Loved that you added the flower names along with your beautiful photography. Outstanding ~ keep going dear one along your beautiful journey of earth. 🐬

[@kaylanrosa]

Aww means so much to hear others appreciating the poetry and flowers!!

[@karenb1627]

Stunning footage above the clouds. Always appr3ciate you identifying the flowers. Gorgeous and bequtiful dialogue and always giving good advice about protecting the mama earth.

You seem to have incorporated that slow pace of nature into a perfect visual experience with this one.

[@kaylanrosa]

Thank you so much. A slow pace is such a wonderful way to experience natures beauty

Mt Rainier is one of those very unique places that we have to enjoy.

[@kaylanrosa]

Not every day you see such a grand and beautiful mountain! Let alone the beauty of the surrounding forests and mountains.

[@WanderingSoleTV]

Fantastic scenes! So beautiful. Sigh, another summer has flown by. But it's a nice fall so far : )

[@kaylanrosa]

Thank you!! My thoughts exactly!!! I def will miss summer but fall has been kind to us this year and I’m leaning into the seasonal change.

[@WanderingSoleTV]

@@kaylanrosa I tend to get out a lot at this time of year - last chances to walk on dry ground : ) I like how there's less crowds and less insects too ha

[@robert-de7jg]

“You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. All things are connected.”(Chief Seattle, Duwamish). Be well, stay safe. 🥾

[@kaylanrosa]

I love it! Not to mention, the earth is our mother! So many reasons to respect the earth, aside from it making your quality of life better!

I'm used to the Sierra trails, and I have to say, that is the nicest trail I've ever seen!! You could almost put in passing lanes and a white stripe down the middle. Very nice....

[@kaylanrosa]

Haha that would probably help with all the tourists!

[@jorgearenillas4]

Love your videos ❤. Thanks for sharing. I noticed that most shots are 3 seconds long and that prevents me from fully relaxing. Do you think you can try to make them longer, ... maybe 6 seconds? 😊

[@kaylanrosa]

Thank you so much! I will do my best! Unfortunately my videos would be super long that way and my retention drops. I do my best to make them as long as possible!

[@jorgearenillas4]

@@kaylanrosa thanks I appreciate that!! ❤️ and I understand that there are more factors that you have to consider. 😊

[@dominiquetamer5138]

In such a wild lake, I would take off my bikini.

[@kaylanrosa]

Haha it was right by the trail but I def do when I get the chance.

[@jameshunt1221]

Good idea to leave, it seems that you need to pray to Jesus, he gives you heaven. That is most important. Take care.

[@kaylanrosa]

Haha wow I didn’t realize I came across as a godless heathen 😅

[@KrystalVentures]

@@kaylanrosa 🤣

[@edmundburkburk]

​@@kaylanrosaif you are, you're in good company. Some of the best and brightest who have ever lived have been godless heathens. Only a fool thinks he has the meaning of life in the universe figured out. 🙏🏼 😅
