Kati Explores

The three Little Mashel Waterfalls are easily accessed through the University of Washington Pack Forest, just outside Mt Rainier National Park. Combine with Hugo Peak for a great rainy day hike!

Visit Beaverton's only waterfall! The little-known Cedar Mill Falls is surprisingly impressive for being in the middle of the suburbs.

My roadtrip honeymoon diary!

Shaniko is Oregon's oldest living ghost town! Visit its 30 (living) residents, just 3 hours south of Portland, for old west saloons, a probably haunted hotel, and the best of Oregon's sagebrush desert views.

One of the most unusual hikes in the Northwest! You'll walk on a decommissioned pipeline by the Hood River.

Bagby Hot Springs is open after a 4 year closure! Enjoy soaking in a rustic whiskey barrel tub in a log cabin, under 2 hours from Portland!
