Hello Adventurers,
As the season changed and the weather turned, I reflect once again from the inspiration of the desert southwest!
One thing I have found over the summer that is certain is change. People come in and out of our lives, the weather blows, our perceptions change. Living in this world is dynamic, and the things we think are important are affected by so many factors. Struggle and challenge are important parts of our lives, letting us choose what we hold onto. Each of us face tough decisions yet the true essence of life revolves around how we choose to handle this change.
One thing I find helps see clarity around my normal daily patterns is exposing myself to the elements. The experiences we create for ourselves outdoors are powerful. The vision for KAF is to help facilitate your growth.
This summer had some amazing stories! So many worked so hard to summit Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, learn to climb, try a new experience by doing yoga outdoors, or pushing themselves beyond imaginable. UNBELIEVABLE GROWTH!
Thank you all for your support and sense of adventure. We hope you will continue to share with us…..

In the meantime, we’re in the process of switching over our email list to a new platform. As the KAF community grows, it’s been increasingly hard to keep track of everyone in our old system.

KAF Adventures has a new intern this year! Woo hoo!
We’re so excited to have Steffan on board this summer. He’ll be helping us get organized for the summer season and working with our teams in the field.
Geeking out on gear, working with professional educators, and seeing some cool places in the Cascades, not bad!
Steffan is a Pacific Northwest native. He cut his teeth on the slopes of Mt Baker as a skier and then took it backcountry with a splitboard. He’s an active member of King County Explorer Search & Rescue, and volunteers at Mt St Helens. What a stud!
We’re excited to have him on the team. Please give him a warm welcome by leaving a comment. You can read his full bio on our about page.
Calling all fans and supporters! We want your vote for BEST of Northwest Escapes! Help us spread the good word! Voting ends Apr 17. Every vote counts!

Vlogs (video blogs), tech tips, dispatches, oh my!
One of our goals for the new website is to connect with our clients and outdoor community. One way we want to do that is by creating video content which updates you on what’s going on in the KAF world, a tech tip library for you to reference, and provide in-field updates from our courses & trips.
To see our videos, you can subscribe to our blog’s rss feed, check in at our new video page, or subscribe directly to our youtube channel.

Hello Adventurers,
Living in a constant state of motion seems to be the norm these days. I can attest, as a professional outdoor educator and guide, I often find myself in the most unique and beautiful places pondering how lucky I am to be there.
