Glacier National Park

We're just back from a week in Whitefish, Montana, and Glacier National Park, where we saw bighorn sheep, a mountain goat, a grizzly bear (from a safe distance) and more. Click here for photos.  

And here are a few photos from a wedding Jake and Elli recently attended with Elli's family in Seattle as they headed back to Portland from their summer in Holden Village.

Revisiting Bandon

While we've made regular visits to the Oregon Coast over the years, it's been a long time since we've visited the southern - and most scenic - part of the coast. Click here for photos from our long weekend in Bandon, which included a side trip along the Samuel Boardman State Scenic Corridor to see the Natural Bridges pictured below. 

And while Pat and I were enjoying the westernmost part of Oregon, Drew, Grace, Emily, Coleman and friends spent the weekend camping in Eastern Oregon, and Jake and Elli were enjoying their final weekend, for now, in Holden Village. Click here for lots of photos from the month of August, including the one below from Emily's recent bike-packing trip near Banks; and here are photos from Jake's epic Cloudy Pass hike.  It's been a summer of beautiful scenery all around.
