Hey! This is where I found out I dont really like multi day mountain hikes while sleeping in shared rooms :-). Was still amazing though, A+ panoramic views and lush hidden meadows.

Me in one of those meadows!

If you come to the Cascades in Washington, please don't stand in our meadows like this. These plants do NOT survive being stepped on and you're compressing the soil, preventing regrowth. If everyone walks in the meadows they will vanish forever. There is no natural mechanism to uncompress soil.

I never understood why people are annoyed by tourists until I moved to the mountains...

Just for this comment I will be flying to Washington and will compress a meadow.

Next time don’t bring up Washington meadows on a post not about Washington meadows.
