More pictures from the Sierras – part 2

After a wonderful couple of days relaxing and hanging out with friends in Bellingham, I now find myself just outside of Duluth starting down the Superior hiking trail. It’s almost a little jarring to me how quickly I’m moving from one thing to the next, but yet here I am hiking in Minnesota 🤷‍♀️ There’s…

Washington is amazing!!  I’m so glad that I made the decision to pop up to Cascade Locks and hike north from there, for lots of reasons: First, Washington is gorgeous, this is some of the best hiking on the PCT!  Also, it’s actually a relief to become a section hiker, I just feel so much…
