What I think I look like camping vs. what I actually look like 😆 Anyone else?

Outdoor gear can be an expensive barrier for many people trying to get outside. We asked our staff their top picks for outdoor gear and whether it’s worth it to break the bank, or find a cheaper alternative. And here's what they said ➡️ loom.ly/2GquOiY

More time spent outdoors, duh! 🌲🏕️🌊

📍Kitsap Memorial State Park Located on the Kitsap Peninsula sits the beautiful 62-acre state park Kitsap Memorial. This park has camping, day-use areas and cabins, fishing, a huge playground, trails to explore and picturesque spots for picnicking by the water.

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows. Don’t you dare act surprised.

For those that don’t love fall and winter camping, our cabins and vacation houses are perfect to rent this time of year! You can still enjoy everything our parks have to offer, and have a warm, dry, cozy place to come back to once you are done recreating, bit.ly/3gzlBAB.

Happy #NationalTakeaHikeDay! If you are not able to get outside today, try hitting one of our First Day Hikes on Jan. 1 🥾 Let’s start next year together, outside: parks.wa.gov/1229/First-Day….

Not telling anyone if I win the lottery but there will be signs

Respect the drip Karen 💁🏻‍♀️

Even if you think “it’s just, I don’t know, drizzling” outside, be sure to check our website alerts (parks.wa.gov/alertcenter.as…) and trail conditions before heading out!

They’re historic and educational, natural and recreational, they’re all together sensational, the State Parks family *snap, snap* 👻

Can't believe spirit halloween sells this

In October of 2021, three hikers disappeared in a place where #LeaveNoTrace principles were not followed. A year later, their footage was found. This is "The Leave No Trace Project."
