It’s always cool to find out that your favorite animal comes in another form you never heard of. Squirrels and fish that fly, worms that melt, black bears that are brown, albino moose.

So we’ve heard of the legendary Bigfoot, a creature of Pacific NW fiction. Recently the fictional vampires of Twilight have become well known beyond the Northwest. Some have tried to figure out the non-fictional “Grunge Rockers”, who originally roamed the great lands around our beloved Puget Sound.
Well, another creature of legend calls the Northwest home. [...]

After climbing between 6,000-7,500 feet, one may notice a big change… no trees! The air is freezing cold, snowfields and glaciers can be found. The flowers grow short, and the animals are few. It’s the hardest place on the mountain to live, and the air is the best I’ve ever breathed. This is the Alpine [...]

As you climb between 4,500 and 6,000 feet you’ll notice that the trees begin to thin into the famous meadows of Mt. Rainier. This is the Subalpine Life Zone of Mount Rainier. Some argue it is the most beautiful place in all of Washington. And it isn’t just people that enjoy this area.
Black Tailed Deer [...]

God has placed inside the Pacific Northwest a vibrant and beautiful region, known to us as Mount Rainier. The variety of ”life zones” on Mount Rainier creates an environment in which many types of wildlife can live. The first life zone that one encounters when entering the park is the ”Lowland Forest Zone.” The dense forest shades most of Ohanapecosh, Longmire [...]
