TWILIGHT Group Trip 🧛‍♀️🌿💧

OCT 1-5, 2026
4 Days of exploration & play in the best of the Pacific Northwest 🌿💧

It’s Hoa Hoa season, bitch.

In the state of Washington, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain… there's a small town named Forks. For many years, I lived in this area. And because it is one of the most luscious, gentle, and nourishing places on this planet…

I want to bring you along.

Dive into the Olympic Peninsula: dripping in deep greens and blues, this gorgeous stretch of land holds some of the US’s only temperate rainforest. Abundant in massive mushrooms, healing herbs, ancient trees, and ferns the size of your whole self - this will become one of your favorite places on the planet.

And who better to experience it with than 10 likeminded strangers-turned-best-friends?

On this trip we will do 3 hikes:

• Mt. Storm King 🏰 (Lake Crescent)
  4.4mi Length/2,142ft Elevation Gain

  This ass-kicker will kick off our hiking trip. It’s painful, but short - and oh, so worth it. With a wee rope section and incredibly small amount of exposure, this is a fantastic beginner mountain. From the top you can see Canada on a clear day! As well as gorgeous views of the ocean and turquoise waters of Lake Crescent. If you’re lucky, perhaps a grey jay will land on your hand. This is the spot!

• Lover’s Lane 🌿 (Sol Duc)

  5.8mi Length/498ft Elevation Gain

  Get lost (on trail) in the heart of the rainforest. This trail begins at Sol Doc Hot Springs, where we’ll be staying on Night 2. Peaceful and complex, Lover’s Lane meanders through all sorts of diverse vegetation typical to the region, ending at the stunning Sol Duc Falls. It features plenty of wildlife, and the waterfall is stunning. The cherry on top to an absolutely perfect trail.

• Second Beach 🌊 (La Push)

  2.2mi Length/291ft Elevation Gain

  My favorite hike in the whole world!!! And I’ve done a lot of hiking. Each step is a surprise. This trail makes me feel so curious and carefree, like a little kid again! Old growth forest (with some of the coolest trees you’ve ever seen) gives way to the absolutely epic beach of La Push. Giant logs, bull kelp, and sea stacks surround us. Sea stars and anemones lurk in the tide pools, and at the end of the beach… there’s a secret cave. This walk is pure and utter magic.

So… why is this a ”Twilight” group trip?

The Olympic Peninsula is the setting of the Twilight Saga. Port Angeles, Forks, and La Push are all iconic locations featured in the films and movies. We’ll be doing a lot of hiking, but we’ll also be stopping for photos with the “Welcome to Forks” sign and watching Twilight on Night 3. There is a “Twilight museum” in Forks that holds some props and information but we aren’t spending our time in there. The landscapes and friendships we make are the star of this trip!

What airport do I fly into?

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) offers a TON of flights so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a good flight path. Be out of the airport, ready-to-go by 3 pm on October 1. I’ll drop you back from 8 am - 10 am on October 5! I’ll check in with each of you before you buy flights. ✈️

What’s the sleeping situation?

We will be sharing beds the first two nights (since National Park accommodation is always one billion dollars). The last two Airbnbs will provide more space and most will get their own bed! We will draw numbers and switch off to make sure it’s fair, but myself and my cohost will always share/take the least ideal spots. Think of it as a big, goofy sleepover with your girlies… and maybe bring a little zzzquil if you’re a light sleeper!

It’s really all-included?

The goal of my trips is to holistically treat yourself; to enjoy the whole experience without lifting a damn finger. Accommodation, activity, meals, transportation, and direction will all be handled by me… so that you can kick back, relax and just be! The only thing you’ll pay for all weekend is extra optionals - like if you want an extra cocktail, need a coffee or to stop at the dispo… things of that nature. All of my trips are thoughtfully and creatively designed to have maximum flow and fun in a place that has fundamentally changed who I am for the better.

Rest assured knowing that you’re about to get the best of the best… of the Pacific Northwest. 🌿
