Each year I make a pilgrimage (well, make that multiple pilgrimages) to Washington’s Teanaway country. The Teanaway, so named due to its proximity to the mighty Teanaway River and its tributaries, is known for its abundant recreational opportunities, including horseback riding, fishing and hiking, spectacular vistas of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Stuart and beautiful early summer floral displays and a stunning golden larch bonanza in the fall.
