There is something so cool to discover in Washington State that you might get upset about when you realize you've never heard of them before until now—the Thomas Dambo Trolls.

There are about five such feats of artistic genius here in Washington State. I've heard there is also one in Oregon.

WHAT ARE THOMAS DAMBO TROLLS?

The artist, Thomas Dambo, has made standalone sculptures that have gained him quite the reputation for his iconic trolls. These are nothing like the Fremont Bridge Troll in Seattle, although that's a pretty cool work of art, too.

WHO IS THOMAS DAMBO?

Thomas Dambo is an activist and a recycling enthusiast from Denmark. He was commissioned to create his art at several locations throughout the Pacific Northwest.

 

These amazing art sculptures are made out of wood, including birdhouses. It's just truly stunning to see!

@kyndraholley Road trip with us to see all 5 Thomas Dambo trolls in the Northwest Trolls - Way of the Bird King Series. Thomas Dambo has designed and constructed over 100 of these reclaimed wood trolls all over the world. We are lucky enough to have 5 of them within driving distance. If you are in Western Washington / Portland Oregon area, I highly recommend taking a scenic little road trip to see all 5 of these trolls in person. #thomasdambo #trolls #thomasdambogiants #pnw #washington #livewashington #upperleftusa #upperleftcoast #roadtrip #explore #adventure ♬ original sound - Kyndra Holley

This Hike in the Columbia River Gorge is a Must Experience

The Labyrinth to Coyote Wall Loop. It runs 6.7 miles with an elevation gain of 1,489 feet. It features a waterfall, lava tube, rock formations, and incredible views. It’s heavily trafficked with hikers and mountain bikers on weekends and dogs are welcome on a leash. Beware, you’ll need good hiking shoes as a good portion of the trail is very rocky. It’s open all year round, but the experts recommend day use from March to November.
