Full-time RVers traveling the U.S. with our Bengal Cat Ramsey

😅 Before we even get into it — yes, Mount Fremont 😅 Before we even get into it — yes, Mount Fremont has over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and no, we were absolutely not pairing that with a 4 a.m. wake-up.
Everyone talks about hiking Mount Fremont before sunrise… and honestly?
🌄 We knew immediately that was not our destiny.
✨ Sure, it sounds magical — glowing peaks, golden light, inspirational Instagram captions…
🛣️ But then reality hit: 🏨 We were staying on the Paradise side.
📍 The trailhead was 70 miles away. 
🌀 And that “70 miles” translated to two hours of twisty, pitch-black, horror-movie forest road.
🤣 So the moment one of us said, “We could catch sunrise,” we both just laughed, wheezed, and said:
❌ “Absolutely not.”
😴 We didn’t even pretend.
🕗 We showed up at a normal human hour.
🌞 And the sun was already up like, “Yeah, I knew you weren’t gonna make it.”
👉 Make sure to swipe to the end to see the wildlife we spotted and the lookout tower!

📊 Trail Stats:
 📍 Mount Fremont Lookout Trail via Sourdough Ridge Trail
 📌 Mount Rainier National Park, WA
 🥾 5.7 mi Out & Back | 📈 1,108 ft gain | 💪 Moderate
 ⛰️ High Point: Mount Fremont Lookout (~7,214 ft)

👋 Hi there!✨ We’re Buck & RaeLynn — a full-time RV couple exploring the beautiful backroads and hidden gems of the U.S. in our DRV Fifth Wheel. Along for the ride is our adventurous Bengal cat, Ramsey, who’s always ready to chase a new horizon.

❓🌼 What’s more intimidating: a judgmental flower, ❓🌼 What’s more intimidating: a judgmental flower, a snack-obsessed deer, or a wild blueberry?
🎬➡️ Swipe to the end for the views that wowed us!
🌸 The wildflowers were in full chaos mode—like a plant fashion show, and we got cast as confused background extras. One even seemed to judge my hiking shoes.
🦌🎬 Then a deer glanced at us once while munching and went right back to its meal. Polite… but completely unbothered.
🫐😳 Blueberry alert! RaeLynn, extremely picky, actually ate one. Eating a wild berry is basically her signing up to eat something gross… and surviving. 🤮😂
🥾😅 Finally, after wheezing to the top, Louise Lake is just sitting there, ridiculously stunning, like, “Oh, YOU made it? Cute.”
<<<---------------------->>> 
📊 Trail Stats:
 📍 High Lakes Loop Trail
 📌 Mount Rainier National Park, WA
 🥾 2.8 mi Loop | 📈 554 ft gain | 💪 Moderate
✅  Highlights:
🪞✨ Sparkling alpine lakes = nature’s glam filter
🌼🌸 Wildflowers (in season) = colorful confetti
📸🤳 Big mountain vistas = instant phone-storage crisis

🐻😂 Hike of the century: we came, we trekked, and w 🐻😂 Hike of the century: we came, we trekked, and we almost starred in our own episode of “When Hikers Panic.”
➡️ Swipe to check out the video at the end!
🌲 Waterfalls? Gorgeous. The White River? Like someone spilled a giant milkshake across the mountains. 💦 Fun fact: that milky color is glacial flour — basically glaciers grinding rocks into smoothie form. 🪨🥤
😳 Almost saw a bear! On our way back, the couple behind us casually said, “Oh yeah, right after you crossed the river, a bear popped out.”
🐻📸 Then they showed us pics… so technically, we did see it — just in “safe-distance, vicarious mode.”
🤔 Quick question: Does it count as a bear sighting if all you have is someone else’s photo? 😎
<<<---------------------->>> 
📊 Trail Stats:
 📍 Carter and Madcap Falls via Wonderland Trail
 📌 Mount Rainier National Park, WA
 🥾 2.5 mi Out & back | 📈 534 ft gain | 💪 Moderate
✅ Highlights
 💧 Carter & Madcap Falls: The main event — dramatic, loud, and basically yelling “TAKE MORE PICTURES.”
 🌿 Moss-Covered Wonderland: Peak PNW vibes everywhere.
 📸 Photo Ops: So many that your camera roll will file a complaint.

👉 Swipe to see the two videos of Ramsey. You definitely don’t want to miss.
😴🌊Ramsey says beach days are exhausting. He’s worked hard doing absolutely nothing. 
🐯🏖️ Just Ramsey serving Baywatch but make it feline energy, striking heroic poses, then immediately yawning like he’s exhausted from being this fabulous.
🌍 He has also declared himself an official explorer—puts on his tiny vest and waits at the door 🚪 like it’s a VIP entrance to Narnia.
👀 And the stare… the “open the door, human” glare that suggests I’m not meeting explorer-level service expectations.
👑 When he’s not posing majestically on his scratch pad, he’s melting into the couch like an overcooked spaghetti noodle 🛋️.
😼 Honestly, he’s about two missed walks away from filing a formal complaint with HR (Household Ramsey).
✨🐾 Ramsey says thanks for following his adventures—your support keeps his royal ego purring at maximum capacity. 😼👑

🐾 On the Skyline Loop, we spotted marmots living their best alpine life. 😎 
👉 Swipe to the end to see the marmots in action 🎥
🥾 Hiking was plenty — Mount Rainier? 9,000+ feet up, 10+ miles, and half of climbers don’t make it. Yikes.
📸 Meanwhile, summit-bound adventurers were all ropes, packs, and pure “let’s do this” energy. 🏔️
🌋 Thousands tackle the 14,411-foot volcano each year — mostly intact, slightly questioning life choices. 🤔😂
🛤️ Over 20 climbing routes and ski descents from Paradise, Westside Road, White River, and Mowich Lake.
😜 Pick your adventure — or pick your struggle.
<<<---------------------->>>
📊 Trail Stats: 5.6 mi loop | ⛰️ 1,781 ft gain | 💬 Hard
<<<---------------------->>>
🏔️ Thinking about climbing Mount Rainier?
 🎟️ You’ll need permits (book early!) and maybe a will. 
 ☀️ Best time: late May–early Sept — when it’s only slightly miserable.
 👥 Go guided — safer and less “lost on a glacier” vibes. 🧭
 🏋️‍♀️ Train hard: stairs, cardio, and convincing your legs this is “fun.” (It’s not.) 🥴
 🌧️ Expect wild weather, heavy packs, and 2–4 days of “vacation cardio.” 🥶📸

🦋🌸🥵 Who knew the best free therapy involves wildfl 🦋🌸🥵 Who knew the best free therapy involves wildflowers, butterflies, and uphill torture?
👉 Swipe to the end video to see the stunning view!
☀️ End-of-August heat hits different — trails shimmering, SPF 50 barely helps, and every step tests our willpower. 🥵
🦋🌸 While we questioned our sanity, butterflies thrived in a wildflower wonderland, totally unbothered by the sun or our wheezing ascent.
🌲💆‍♀️ Late-summer nature therapy: free, humbling, unforgettable — sore muscles, clear mind, happy soul.
🤯🥾 Skyline Loop left us sweaty, salty, and a little existential… and yet, we’d do it again — we were prepared, but the uphill therapy had its own agenda.
💡 Trail Tip: Start early, pack snacks, water, and humor 😅 — and pause for the butterflies and wildflowers. 🌸
<<<---------------------->>>
📊 Trail Stats: 5.6 mi loop | ⛰️ 1,781 ft gain | 💬 Hard
💡 Trail Highlights:
 🌄 Late-season wildflowers — bursts of purple and gold that make the uphill worth it.
 🦋 Butterflies that make you pause, catch your breath, and wonder who’s really winning at life.
 🏞️ Ridgeline and valley views that reward every switchback — sweat = scenery.
 🌅 Quiet moments on exposed rock outcrops where even the heat feels majestic.

📸 👉 Swipe to see the stunning views at the end!
💦 Right out of the gate, we hit Myrtle Falls — and wow, what a way to kick things off! ⛰️😂 The perfect “this is going to be epic” moment before the uphill reality check set in. 
📅 It was a weekday, but Washington didn’t get the memo — everyone and their cousins hit the trail. First time I’ve ever been stuck in a traffic jam with trekking poles. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️
🐿️ Somewhere along the trail, we spotted a chipmunk living his best life — fully self-sufficient and clearly thriving without handouts. Nature’s snack connoisseur.
😂 10/10 views. 0/10 personal space. Would absolutely do it again once I forget how steep that last climb was.

 🗺️ Distance: 5.6 miles (loop)
 ⛰️ Elevation gain: 1,781 ft
