Winter Adventures at Suttle Lake

Cozy lodges, snowy trails, and lakeside views. We escaped to Suttle Lodge on Suttle Lake for a weekend of winter adventure. Snow-covered trails, peaceful hikes around the lake, and a cozy lodge with a fantastic restaurant made it the perfect getaway.

Hey there, we're Ken & Bonnie!

Welcome to KB Adventures! We started this little blog because we love to explore and and enjoy the outdoors during all four seasons of the year.  

We live in Portland, Oregon and our idea of fun includes backpacking trips into remote wildernesses, swimming in mountain lakes with our chocolate lab Bo, exploring new campgrounds and forest service roads, and cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter.

As experienced backcountry adventurers, we hope our photos and trip journals will inspire you to come visit the amazing natural beauty to be found in the upper left corner of the US.
