I’m a professional photographer. Here are my favorite photos from Washington’s 2023 Fall Season

It was a remarkable fall season up in Washington, though always too quick for my liking. I tackled a multitude of hikes, a fantastic backpacking trip, and saw more larches than I could count.

Many people flock to the East Coast for fall, but it’s a good reminder for everyone else that the PNW offers outstanding fall colors too.

Thanks for taking a look at these photos, and follow for more!
