8.8 miles, roundtrip 2900 ft elevation gain With: Shreyas, Utkarsh, Ankit The Hike Lake Ingalls looked amazing during my research. However, the hike was still covered with snow - to a point that we couldn’t make it all the way to the lake. We had to turn around mid way due to the lack of snow hiking equipment.
Oh, well! :(

With Ray My first ever experience with a real handgun - it felt like firing blanks, which used to be a popular Diwali toy for kids. Coming to think of it, shouldn’t bursting crackers in India be banned because of how dangerous it is? Anyway - the recoil of a handgun was definitely greater than it looks.
My first real hike in the PNW (Pacific North West - yep, I didn’t know it either) was a blissful hike in Rattlesnake ridge, which overlooks a lake. The trail is very crowded and is a fairly medium hike.

With: Shreyas and Sibi Leavenworth is such a chill town. This German town is the perfect place to be during summer. We went to Nutcracker museum and hiked Icicle Ridge trail.
We also stopped at Olympia to visit the state capitol and ended with a quick stop at the lighthouse at Point Wilson.

With: Surbhi Kamboj Every year, during spring, few parts in the pacific northwest tulips bloom at the same time. Surbhi and I decided to check out RoozenGaarde. Roses roses everywhere. :)
Surbhi and I also decided to do a quick hike on Snoqualmie falls on the same weekend.
Fun fact: people used to say that Snoqualmie is a great place to Ski. I always thought it was SNOW-CALL-ME. lol.
