Since ive moved to Washington from Colorado, I've noticed how much the hiking sucks in comparison. I've climbed quite a few places all over Colorado and spend a lot of time hiking to the top of mountains without trails.

Here in Washington, you have to pay to use the park, can only go on trails, trails are much much more sparse, much less mountains, and the people will cry about anything if you even go a tiny bit off trail.

I am absolutely aware if the potential dangers I've put myself through. It's how I learn. But to be so guarded here is a big disappointment.
