this is your sign to go back | return to the north cascades of washington

Join me on a nature nerd's road trip to the North Cascades of Washington, known as the American Alps. I'm revisiting this national park for hiking into mountains, identifying wildflowers in meadows, and swimming in cold alpine lakes. These are some of my favorite hikes and spots, yet visiting them in wildflower season of early summer has revealed a whole new world of native plants and amazing mountain views and vistas. We will learn and experience these beautiful ecosystems along some of the best trails and swims in the area, all with plant identification and forest education from a self taught naturalist.

Being a nomad naturalist enables me to reconnect with nature in a whole new way. I hope to inspire this inner peace and happiness in others through a closer relationship with mama nature, through healthy eating, outdoor recreation, edible food gardening/farming, and sustainable living. KZbin has enabled me to better educate and inspire from the road.

It's been 40 years since I backpacked in the North Cascades. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@kaylanrosa]

Can’t wait to backpack here one day! Happy to share! Thanks for watching!

The beautiful scenery, the superb editing along with your narration makes your videos so so enjoyable! I've watched this video at least 3 times so far

thanks for sharing...so beautiful mountain views🏞️🫐

So happy you enjoyed!

Kaylan, you go to such beautiful places. The last time I left my cave and went to the wild, I encountered 6 venomous snakes, and one even touched by accident (didn't bite). The way wild life loves to scare the heck out of me, if I'm at the same location as you are, it is very likely (99.99%) that I encounter a T-Rex. Thank you for sharing your time and experiences. You are very charismatic and I enjoy watching your videos. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy.

[@kaylanrosa]

Haha glad I can share nature without you having to be a reptile magnet 😂😂 thank you for the well wishes! Sending them back tenfold!

[@gwengwen4535]

This video was amazing! Like you literally have a gift. I don’t see any drone footage and you absolutely brought out the beauty! Really great work. I want to go there so badly, I’ve only ever passed through, and the memory was extremely impressionable to me. It was absolutely exquisite and what a blessing to come upon that meadow full of different, colorful flowers up that high! Just wow! 🙌🏼🥰🙏🏻

[@kaylanrosa]

Aww thank you friend! Hope I can get a drone one day that would be awesome! And I hope you can see more of it yourself one day too!

[@gwengwen4535]

@@kaylanrosa Yes, queen! I will be following you on Patreon going to get on it in a bit!!

Absolutely Fabulous Lovely thanks for taking me with you I'm late as always 💚🌱✌️😳🤯🎣😋

Thanks friend ♥️🌱✨🌲

[@joshualavender]

Beautiful mountains! Your videos have opened my eyes to the PNW, and finances permitting, I'll go out there for an extended camping trip next summer.

[@kaylanrosa]

Hope you make it out! It’s an amazing place that always calls me back!

[@eyalofer5015]

You are a great creator. Both the visuals and the text. And yes, we like going back to the same place in different seasons and different light conditions. Somehow we never explored the north cascades. Just passed there en route back from Canada. The trail near the abandoned power station looks incredible. I will search where it is. If only for the berries:-)

[@kaylanrosa]

Thank you that means the world :,) Definitely a gem and a must visit!! Can’t wait to go to Canada one day!! Haha berries are always worth a stop!

[@sammymartinez556]
