The morning this photo was taken we woke up at 3:0

The morning this photo was taken we woke up at 3:00am, did some unplanned off-roading, and huffed and puffed for a couple of hours while getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. But when we finally made it to the top, it was so worth it. Thanks to the early wake up call we had this view all to ourselves. The fresh morning breeze, thousands of wildflowers, and the 360 views had me in awe. ⁣

*and no, I didn’t hike like this 😅 the advantage of having a place all to yourself is that you can change at the top for pictures* ⁣

Falling in love with places I didn’t know existed.⁣✨

As we set out on our road trip from Washington to Montana, we decided to spend a night somewhere in Idaho to split the 8.5-hour drive in two days. Since we had a camper van, we didn’t have an exact location in mind and decided to play it by year. While Max was driving, I was looking up different campgrounds to see whether anything was available for last minute reservations. That’s when I stumbled on Farragut State Park in Google Maps and noticed a nearby small “town” right on the lake named Bayview. So, before we settled in for the night, Max and I decided to stop by Bayview to grab dinner and watch the sunset. ⁣
⁣
When we got to Bayview, we were blown away by the stunning scenery, kindness of the locals, and the unique feel of the place. It’s basically a small community of floating houses and businesses situated on the shores of the largest lake in Idaho, Lake Pend Oreille. So naturally, we decided to spend the night nearby and enjoy the sunrise on the lake before continuing on with our road trip. ⁣
⁣
As I was walking around the next morning, waiting for the sun to rise, I was amazed by the stillness, the beauty, and the uniqueness of this place. And then it hit me. Less than 24 hours ago, I didn’t even know this place existed and today I’m falling in love with it and hoping to come back someday. ⁣
⁣
Leaving room for spontaneity in my trips has always been important to me and stumbling upon Bayview is a perfect example why.

And so the adventure begins.⁣✨

We’ve been in each other’s lives for about ten years and been dating for the last two. It’s been an amazing journey filled with an abundance of happy moments, countless travel memories, very few downs and a whole lot of ups. I have never felt happier, safer, and more sure of anything in my life. Looking forward to spending the rest of my life with @maxisalidadesocorro 🤍

I try to catch at least one sunrise at every new place I visit and most of the time my sunrise adventures turn into my favorite memories.✨ ⁣
