Imagine a vacation where you don’t need to book a flight, reserve a hotel room or seek out local attractions. All you need to do is simply look around you. No matter where you live, there is always an undiscovered adventure waiting for you. Whether it be a local hike, historic building, activity you’ve never tried or dinner party with friends. There's always a way to make vacation or should I say “Staycation” right around you.
I decided it was time for me to take a staycation in the Columbia River Gorge. 
I tried XC skiing for the 2nd time up by Mt. Adams. Thanks to a couple of friends it made for a fun and memorable adventure.
Delicious first experience with fondue... If you've never tried fondue so it's great excuse for a dinner party.
Still attempting snowboarding up at Mt. Hood.
Finished with a hike to the top of Mitchell Point for a sweet view of the gorge.
