theler wetlands nature preserve! 🧭 pnw adventure #4

although we’ve got plenty of wetlands in minnesota, they’re not much impacted by the moon’s gravitational pull. but it’s a different story on the inland coastal shores of washington, of course. it was a lot of fun exploring the theler wetlands nature preserve in belfair, giving us up-close views of tidal wetlands and numerous opportunities to consider how this ecosystem differs from back home! in may 2026 i had the opportunity to work & play in western washington state for a couple of weeks. this is the 4th of 18 mini-adventures i took with sominnguy as we made the most of our time in america’s beautiful pacific northwest! my trail name’s mythic and in 2026 i’m continuing my multi-year thru-hike (m.y.t.h.) of the pacific crest trail. as i prepare to return to the pct (and hopefully tackle other section- and thru-hikes in the future), i'm going on day hikes to help keep in trail shape! like and subscribe to follow along! learn more about me and my adventures at https://www.MythicHiker.com #HikeSlow #TakePictures #EatSnacks #hiker #pcthiker #hiking #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washingtonstate #kitsappeninsula #hoodcanal #wetlands
