Our annual guide to the extraordinary outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. The Summit Book 2016 serves as our mile marker. Our annual celebration of the one of the greatest places on this planet. The Outdoor Society strives to help define and explain outdoor culture in the Pacific Northwest through our experiences in and around the wilderness areas we call home. We love this place and we know you do too. We know that for nearly everyone that lives here, there is no greater place on earth and nowhere else we would rather be. This is the land of mountains, glaciers, rivers and salmon. This is the location of rainforests and ice caves, volcanoes and canyons. The Pacific Northwest is where we work, live and most importantly, play. We want to help with that, and we want you to come along on this journey.
