Climbed (slipped, tripped and fell upon) some mountainsides; crossed a bunch of foot bridges; got misted by multiple waterfalls and sea foamed by the Pacific Ocean; came across an unexpected pile of roadkill on a wrong turn in the middle of nowhere; saw seal, deer and multiple bald eagle; learned about ocean critters and tide pools; explored a WWII bunker; and shared a bunch of giggles. These places exist for exactly these reasons.
