As the new year rapidly approaches, we are dreaming up adventures ahead with itineraries, reservation reminders and more. But we would be remiss to gloss over 2022 and its awe-inspiring trips, big and small.

On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we each count down our top five trips from the past year. Some adventures were big physical feats, while others allowed space to simply connect with a new town or a peaceful spot in nature.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• Vickie recounts her two most physically challenging trips: summiting Mount St. Helens and biking around the rim of Crater Lake.
• Jamie explored many, many beaches on the southern coast.
• Exploring Joseph and the Wallowa mountains for a Peak Northwest video episode made the list for both Vickie and Jamie.
• One of Jamie’s favorite trips was a serendipitous stay in Central America for a wedding.
