Travel

The third day for the Seattle trip as I explored attractions of downtown Seattle.

Second day of my Seattle trip as my friend and I hiked (part of) Annette Lake Trail in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

First day of Seattle trip as we visited Hurricane Ridge of Olympic National Park, a misty wonderland covered in snow.

It had been an unusually warm winter for United States' eastern coast, with not much snowfall near Washington DC (that can survive a full day without melting). So in the middle of January 2020, just before the start of spring term, I flew to Seattle and decided to have some moments of fun with snow.

Our fourth day in Yellowstone National Park, spent between majestic Yellowstone Canyon and Mammoth Hot Springs, and some stunning landscape and wild animals in between.

Another day of watching various geysers of Yellowstone National Park, with a few wildlife encounters.

A day spent on watching various geysers in the lower-left corner of Yellowstone's figure-8 loop.

Another day full of activities as we were heading from Grand Teton National Park to Yellowstone.

There weren't many interesting natural sites in winter in the mid-Atlantic region. So for some fresh air, I headed for Annapolis, Maryland on the Saturday of Dec 7 for a more culture-related trip.

First weekend of November, before all the leaves were gone in the mountains, my friend and I ventured into Shenandoah National Park for a camping trip and a last peak of autumn. And this post would be about all the things that didn't went wrong that weekend (a lot of them did...).
