Birthday Camping Mount Angeles (Photojournal) Olympic National Park Outdoors

  The day comes every year.  Your birthday is something that gets less significant as each one passes in your life.  I try not to focus on how to make one day good, but to make each day awesome.  If one goes by that didn't get spent outdoors.  I feel like that time was wasted.  My goal for the next 365 is to spend as many nights sleeping outside as possible. So thought I'd head up to the base of Mount Angeles to spend the night.

Micro adventures like these, stick in your brain for a lifetime.  Go out and create your own!  You can also check out a previous birthday trip into the Elwha Valley.
