17 miles. 3,500 ft gain. One day. One very determined hiker in 5-finger shoes. By the end, my feet were screaming… but my heart? Soaring.

From mountain goats gracefully traversing cliffs to a bear just living its best wild life — Coldwater Peak on the north side of Mt. St. Helens gave me a front-row seat to pure, untamed PNW beauty.

Why do I do these big hikes? Because pushing myself outdoors fuels my energy to serve YOU in the Portland real estate market. This month’s July 2025 Portland Market Update is powered by trail grit, fresh mountain air, and a whole lotta love for this incredible place we call home.
