The untamed beauty and ecological richness of the Pacific Northwest makes it a region known for its incredible diversity of landscapes, from temperate rainforests and craggy coastlines to alpine ridges, volcanic plateaus and expansive high desert. This convergence of ocean, mountain, and inland ecosystems makes the PNW one of the most biologically diverse and visually stunning areas in North America, perfect for RV travelers.While iconic national parks like Olympic, Crater Lake, North Cascades and Mount Rainier get much of the attention, the true magic of the Pacific Northwest often lies off the beaten path with some of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Join me as I spotlight three must-see natural wonders in each of the Pacific Northwest states: Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. If you're planning a scenic weekend drive, or a multi-state loop through this wild and varied bioregion, this episode will guide you toward unforgettable stops filled with dramatic landscapes and rich geology. Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Since May 8, 1792, European colonists have called the large volcano just off the coast of Puget Sound "Mount Rainier." It was given that name by a British explorer, Captain George Vancouver – a gift to his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. But prior to Vancouver’s arrival in what eventually became Washington state, the Indigenous peoples in and around the Salish Sea called it by many names. A recent linguistic paper from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians traced those many names for the mountain – where they came from, and what they mean. Guests: Zalmai ʔəswəli Zahir, linguist and Lushootseed language teacher Related Links: Puyallup Tribal Language - Analysis of the Many Names of the Mountain Puyallup Tribal language consultant publishes first comprehensive analysis of the many Native names for Mount Rainier - ʔuhuyəxʷ ti dᶻixʷ pipa ʔə tiiɫ qa sdadaʔ ʔə tiiɫ skʷatač, ʔux̌alad ti ʔəswəli | Puyallup Tribe Puyallup Tribal Language - Culture Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

From a camper who vanished from a rain-soaked tent in 1979 to a seasoned hiker who disappeared on a routine trek in 2020, each story reveals unsettling details and leaves behind haunting questions.

In dieser Doppelfolge über Seattle taucht Erik ein in Welten voller Glaskunst, Kaffeekunst, Straßenkunst. Er besucht Märkte und Museen und spricht mit Menschen, die mit Leidenschaft, Freiheitssinn und Können ihre Träume verfolgen und zur gleichermaßen relaxten wie inspirierenden Atmosphäre der Stadt beitragen. Kurzum, er erhält eine Kostprobe der Zutaten, die Seattle aus- und besonders machen. Seattle im Bundesstaat Washington wird eingerahmt von der Bucht Elliot Bay im Westen und dem Lake Washington im Osten. Dahinter erheben sich die schneebedeckten Gipfel des Kaskadengebirges und des Mount Rainier, der nur 90km südöstlich von Downtown Seattle gut sichtbar am Horizont thront. Dazwischen verteilen sich im Umland Inseln, atemberaubende Küstenlandschaften mit schroffen Steilküsten, Seen, immergrüne Wälder, sogar ein Regenwald. Und auch im Stadtgebiet selbst findet sich viel Grün – deshalb wird Seattle auch als Emerald City bezeichnet, als Smaragdstadt.Bekannt ist Seattle – immerhin schon mehrfach zur lebenswertesten Stadt der USA gekürt – aber nicht nur für die Natur, sondern für noch viel mehr: die Space Needle, Kaffee, Musik, Galerien, Dale Chihuli, die florierende Gastronomieszene, … – all das und mehr: in dieser Weltwach-Doppelfolge!

Dr. Caitlin Massone, ultra-runner, mountaineer, neurologist, and first-time author, sharing the story of her 14-year battle with eating disorders, and how she recovered in an unconventional way through finding endurance sports and nature. Her book, "Running from Perfection," comes out this spring (April 26th 2025).  Part memoir, part neuroscience, her story delves into the neurobiology of eating disorders, how our brains form habits and addictions, and how nature and exercise can help us heal from mental health disorders such as eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. Since regaining her health, Caitlin has run numerous marathons and ultramarathons, including a 50 mile race on the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and recently completed the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier (93 miles in three days). She has also embraced mountaineering, summiting Mount Rainier and Mount Baker, and is planning to climb Denali in 2026. Her story is about perseverance, overcoming mental health obstacles, and finding passion in sports that have transformed her from a 100-pound girl with anorexia to a strong, 150-pound athlete who is ready to take on new challenges!  Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders, mental health challenges, and recovery.

A discussion about the very first newspaper article that featured a report about a flying saucer. While many people believe the description was originally made by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 when describing the nine objects he saw flying over Mount Rainier in Washington, it actually occurred in 1878. The Dallas Herald, on Jan. 25, 1878, ran an article about a saucer-shaped craft seen flying through the sky by Denison, Texas farmer John Martin on Jan. 22, 1878. Also, the 1973 Falkville, Alabama "Metal Man" is discussed. Young Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw responded to a report of a flying saucer on Oct. 17, 1973, and when he arrived on the scene, he saw and photographed an apparent robot standing on the road. The robot eventually fled into a field, and Greenhaw gave chase, only to run his police car into a ditch.

Mauri DiMeo is an Infantry officer in the US Army currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Military Science (APMS) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). He attended Ranger, Airborne, SFAS, the SFQC, and the Austrian High Alpine School. Mauri was a platoon leader in the 4th Infantry Division and Rifle Company Commander in the 10th Mountain Division. His career took a turn in the final Robin Sage stage of the SF Q course, which we discuss early in our conversation. The lessons he learned there are important for any officer going through the SF qualification process. Outside of the military, Mauri founded Tactical Alpinism in 2022 with the mission to expand the capability of individuals to go bigger in the mountains by teaching mountain navigation and planning best practices. Enabling people to go bigger in the mountains expands the military's capability in this environment by focusing on the expertise of the individual within mountain and arctic units. He professionally guides in the mountains in the ski, rock, and alpine disciplines.His mountain experience includes two decades of climbing across much of the world and multiple ski-based ascents and descents, including Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier, and Denali, all by multiple routes. His civilian mountain certifications include AIARE Avalanche Professional Level 2, AIARE Avalanche Instructor, AMGA Assistant Ski Guide, and AMGA Assistant Rock Guide.More about Mauri:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tacticalalpinism/Timestamps:00:00:23 Introduction to Mauri DiMeo00:01:49 Mauri DiMeo's Career 00:03:20 Final Year at West Point00:04:26 Preparing for the Course00:05:32 Junior West Point Cadet00:08:45 Doing Too Much00:10:54 10th Mountain Warfare Training00:15:56 Ready in a Month00:18:13 Conventional Units in Cold Environments00:21:48 The Gap Between What Soldiers Are Taught and Tying Knots 00:26:09 Practicing Skills Where They Matter00:28:20 Tactical Avalanche Education00:32:13 Avalanche Bell Curve Management00:36:20 Speed is Safety00:42:00 Time Recommended to Build Aerobic Capacity00:46:50 Balancing Volume Training00:51:03 Zone 2 Running vs Rucking00:55:34 Getting the Body to Do What It's Meant to Do00:58:48 Effective Mental Frameworks in the Mountains01:02:27 Filling Gaps in Military Training01:05:34 Tactical Core Skills for Operating in the Snowy Mountains01:10:25 What Does Mauri DiMeo Do with Tactical Alpinism?01:12:20 Best and Worst Advice Ever Received01:14:44 Outro

There are plenty of natural disasters to worry about in the Pacific Northwest, like earthquakes, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions. But you may have heard less about lahars -- fast-moving mudflows that emerge from volcanoes. Seattle-based narrative journalist Wudan Yan has written about lahars for Popular Mechanics, and how scientists are sounding the alarm about the threats they pose to communities near Mount Rainier.

“Rainier Watch started as me shouting into the void about whether the mountain was out. Now, it's a brand in REI. Didn't see that coming.”David Lindahl started Rainier Watch as a simple Twitter account—just a guy posting updates on whether Mount Rainier was visible that day. No business plan, no grand vision. Just a love for the mountain.But then people started following. They started asking for stickers. And suddenly, David found himself running an e-commerce brand. What began as a hobby turned into a business selling apparel, getting into retail stores like REI, and building a loyal community of outdoor enthusiasts.This week, we follow David's journey—from side project to full-time business. How he scaled his Shopify store, navigated wholesale partnerships, and made every mistake possible before finally getting it right. Along the way, we look at what happens when an entrepreneur outgrows their own operation, the challenges of building a brand rooted in a specific place, and what it really takes to turn a passion into a sustainable business.Links

Mount Rainier is as deadly as it is beautiful. With unpredictable weather, tough terrain, and a history of disappearances, it's no stranger to mystery.  In July 1999, Joe Wood set off for a short hike—but was never seen again. Despite extensive search efforts, no trace of him was ever found. Did he get lost? Fall? Or was something more sinister at play?Support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!Follow us on Instagram at offthetrailspodcastFollow us on Facebook at Off the Trails PodcastIf you have your own outdoor misadventure (or adventure) story that you'd like us to include in a listener episode, send it to us at offthetrailspodcast@gmail.com  Please take a moment to rate and review our show, and a big thanks if you already have!  Episode Sources:Observer  Village Voice Strange Outdoors Seattle Times Alta Online The Travel**We do our own research and try our best to cross-reference reliable sources to present the most accurate information we can.

During their second longest day on trail, the girls get an early start…not! They wake to cold temperatures and discuss procrastinating vs productivity. After literally taking candy from strangers, they discuss the phenomenon of every snack someone else brings being better than the ones you brought.

Hear their thoughts on whether or not it's a good idea to resupply from “hiker buckets”. They go to the Sunrise area and are surprised by their thoughts on the northern region of Rainier.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Spirit of EQ podcast! I'm your host, Eric Pennington, and in today's episode, we're diving into a personal and transformative experience I recently had hiking near Mount Rainier in Washington State. Despite my fear of heights, I pushed through a challenging 6-mile trek, rising from 7,000 to 8,000 feet in elevation. Along the way, I encountered a myriad of emotions and found valuable lessons in vulnerability, the importance of naming emotions, and the power of taking life one step at a time. Join me as I share my journey, the strategies that helped me overcome my fears, and the insights gained from this unforgettable adventure. Life Lessons from the HikeEric wraps up the episode by summarizing the life lessons he gathered from this hike:Life as a Hike: He emphasizes that life is a series of moments or "chapters," and recognizing each moment as part of a larger story can help us navigate difficulties. This perspective prevents us from being overwhelmed by challenges, as they are just a part of the larger narrative of our lives.Authenticity and Ego: Eric discusses the importance of showing up as your true self. When ego becomes too dominant, we risk becoming inauthentic. Vulnerability can indeed be risky, but if people abandon you for being vulnerable, it says more about them than it does about you.Emotional Intelligence: Naming and understanding emotions can transform them from an internal enemy to an ally. Eric credits EQ (Emotional Intelligence) skills for helping him manage his fear during the hike. These skills are essential tools that can be learned and honed over time.Success One Step at a Time: True success doesn't come from skipping to the end goal but from the journey itself. Each step holds its own value and lessons. This approach applies not just to hiking but to all aspects of life, including career, relationships, and personal growth.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Prepare for an epic conversation with adventure, history, and quirky insights! In this episode of the Exploring Washington State Podcast, host Scott Cowan reunites with guest Tami Asars to discuss the second edition of her book, Hiking the Wonderland Trail. But this isn't just any trail story—it's a deep dive into one of Washington's most beloved trails, spanning 93 miles around the iconic Mount Rainier. So, what's new with the Wonderland Trail?  Is it the same grueling trek it's always been, or have hikers discovered new ways to conquer it? With over a dozen hikes, Tami reveals the triumphs and challenges of trekking this legendary trail. From "fastest known time" attempts to leisurely 14-day adventures with toddlers in tow, the Wonderland is as diverse as the people who hike it. Ever wonder how many times you can climb 22,000 feet of elevation without losing your mind? Tami has the answer and some sage advice: hike your own hike. But don't be fooled by those short daily mileage plans—every step on the Wonderland Trail demands stamina and respect, as the constant ascents and descents push even seasoned hikers to their limits. Want to know the history behind this backcountry gem?  Tami dives into the fascinating origins of the trail, which began as a ranger patrol route in 1915 to combat poachers and wildfires. At one point, there were plans to build a road around Mount Rainier's glaciers! Thankfully, those grand ideas evolved into the trail we know today—a wild escape consistently ranked among the top 10 hikes in the U.S. And here's a twist: Tami's connection to the Wonderland Trail runs deep—not just as a hiker, but on a personal level, with family memories tied to the park. Her husband even proposed to her there, and she shares a mystical tale of a bear sighting that coincided with her nephew's birth. It's clear this trail isn't just dirt and switchbacks—it's woven into her life story. If you're considering hiking the Wonderland Trail, Tami's book might be your new best friend.  With insights on permits (hello, tricky lottery system!), tips for pacing, and ways to avoid common trail pitfalls, she makes planning accessible and even fun. The second edition also offers extras like "stay-a-day" options and wildlife hotspots marked with a fun bear paw icon—perfect for spotting marmots and mountain goats along the way. Curious about life on the trail? Tami spills the beans on trail culture, from the joys of finding a trail family to the quirks of backcountry etiquette. Ever wondered how hikers communicate without cell service? Spoiler: they rely on apps like FarOut (formerly known as GutHook), which work offline and keep adventurers on track with GPS, comments, and waypoints. And if you think Tami's adventures end with the Wonderland Trail, think again. She's also a triple crowner, having completed the Pacific Crest Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Appalachian Trail. Each journey brought revelations, but will she hike the PCT again? Please tune in to discover her surprising thoughts on future trails and whether the Pacific Northwest Trail might be next on her list. As the conversation winds down, Tami shares some of her favorite local spots in North Bend—like Huckstauder Coffee and Rio Bravo for lunch—and hints at exciting new projects, including an upcoming book on trail culture. Will we see Tami's Snoqualmie Region guide hit shelves next year? Only time will tell. With wit, humor, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice debate (yes, it gets real), this episode captures the heart of what makes the Wonderland Trail—and hiking—so magical. Ready to disconnect, embrace the wilderness, and maybe even spot a bear or two? This episode will leave you itching to lace up your boots and hit the trail. And who knows? You might find yourself planning a trek sooner than you think.

Morning brings a beautiful day for the girls to begin the Wonderland Trail, but the forecast tells a different story. The sisters find humor in parking preferences prior to beginning by a long distance hike. Carrie and Molly talk all things trail, including elevation profile, river crossings, and their first day lunch and dinner strategy. Upon arriving at Golden Lakes, the girls find a surprising form of refuge from the rain. They reflect on the discouragement that comes with hiking on a rainy day and compare it to facing tough times off trail.

Israeli forces have started issuing evacuation orders for some of the southern suburbs of Beirut, though not yet to the degree observed so far in Gaza.Over the weekend, significant naval exercises began in the Indian Ocean. Known as the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) Maritime Exercise (IMEX), this annual naval exercise was conducted this year with the notable participation of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iran (among others).-HomeFront-Washington: Authorities have formally announced that both pilots of the EA-18G Growler which crashed on Mount Rainier a few days ago were killed in the crash. Authorities have not stated if either attempted to eject prior to the crash, though an investigation is ongoing into the cause of this training accident.Texas: Yesterday afternoon a sightseeing helicopter crashed into an SBA Communications radio tower in Houston. All four people onboard the helicopter were killed in the crash. AC: The radio tower was only partially lit at the time, a detail which had been posted via the FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) 10/073.New Mexico: Significant flash flooding was reported throughout Roswell, causing widespread damage. Roughly 5.78 inches of rain fell in Roswell Saturday night, the most precipitation ever recorded in the area. This caused widespread flash flooding throughout the city, resulting in over 300 people requiring rescue via National Guard assets. At least two fatalities have been reported so far due to the flooding.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though the IMEX drill is somewhat routine among BRICS nations, Russia and Saudi Arabia taking part likely signals that this exercise is shifting from a routine drill to a more power-projection and alliance-building nature (or at least, moreso than is typical for such joint drills). This has been hinted at in various diplomatic circles via the Saudis' increasing relations with Iran. Allegedly, the Saudis have invited Iranian forces to conduct joint follow on drills in the Red Sea at some point, though for now this is just rumor. What is far more certain is that Russia has increasingly taken part in naval exercises throughout the region, likely with the goal of strengthening ties among the opposition to American hegemony in the region. In short, the side-stepping of American power in the region is continuing, along with efforts to undermine and render irrelevant most of America's foreign policy. However, as naval drills are usually a display of hard-power, these moves indicate that this indirect diplomacy may at some point become more confrontational in nature. This dynamic will be most perceptible at the upcoming BRICS summit, which formally begins tomorrow in Russia.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

In episode 681: Face-Off With Bigfoot, Musket returns to the show to share his gripping tales of encounters with the unexplained. He begins by recounting a chilling Bigfoot sighting in the Olympic National Park, where he came face to face with a massive, humanoid creature that left him questioning reality. Adding to the tension, this sighting happened in the same area where a missing person was mysteriously found, leading Musket to wonder if there's a connection between the two events. He also recalls a night hike near Mount Rainier with his wife, where they were followed by strange glowing eyes that seemed to observe their every move. These experiences led Musket, previously a skeptic, to begin questioning the very reality he once thought was true.  MEET TONY AT: 9/4 - 9/7 - PhenomeCon: https://linktr.ee/merkelmedia Sasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.com Merkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com The Confessionals Members App: Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrh Google Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join AFFILIATES Go Silent with SLNT Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/clXuRY5 EMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!

A straight woman wants to explore her bitchy side. She feels like all her edge got sanded away, and now she wants to try out the dom role. How can she find a man who wants a selfish, in-charge lover?  Meanwhile, a straight man is frustrated that his lady won't let him go down on her.  Our guest this week is Lyz Lenz, author of the NYT best-selling "This American Ex-Wife." Raised conservative Christian, Lenz found herself trapped in a joyless marriage, doing all the work, and getting gaslit like crazy. Now, she makes for a fiery, indignant, righteous interview. The first bit is on the Micro and the whole thing is on the Magnum. Highly recommended.  And, a straight couple are fornicating their way through America's beautiful national parks. But what officially counts as sex? If he goes down on her under a domestic sequoia, did they just have sex? If she rims him in full view of Mount Rainier, did they "do it?"
