Day 26 – More pictures from the first Washington section
Made it to Snoqualmie pass, and really quickly too! I’ve definitely gotten my thru-hiker legs back, I’ve been doing 28-30 mile days recently and still feel really good, so that’s amazing… The trail from White Pass to Snoqualmie pass isn’t as spectacular or amazing as the first part of Washington, there are no dramatic stories…
Made it to Stevens Pass… This section of the trail is absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed it, of course it was a lot of constant elevation gains and drops, but once you got to the views it was oh so worth it. And all of the snow is gone (at least trail snow), so there…
And just like that, my hike of the Oregon Coast Trail is complete!! So overall, it’s a gorgeous trail, the beach is amazing and the rainforest is fantastic! The only downside is the highway walking that you have to do along the 101, otherwise this is an incredible trail. Would I do it again? Probably,…

6/24/24 Today is my PCT start date! I’m leaving from Kennedy Meadows, which is ~700 trail miles from the mexican border and right before the gorgeous California sierras (I’ll go back and hike the desert section in the fall when it’s cooler). The next stop should be mammoth, approximately 8-ish days down the trail. Wish…
I had a fantastic time in Mammoth, I basically laid in my hotel bed with the air conditioning blasted and watched YouTube videos as long as I possibly could…. it was amazing 😍 Today I’m heading back up to the trail, there’s a bus that goes from Mammoth -> Red’s Meadow, so I’ll be on…
Thanks for all the pictures and comments, looks like very beautiful and interesting country.
Wow, these are such amazing pictures, it’s like you’re in a different world now. Thank-you for posting these. I’m really glad that the adventure is so good now.
Thanks Hugh!!
