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…
Finished with the sunshine coast trail! Well, as much of it as I can do, I had to bail out a little early so I could get down to Bellingham to visit a friend before I start the superior trail. Turns out the group I was hiking with likes to sleep in, take long lunches,…
We’re starting the sunshine coast trail today! So far it’s been amazing, it took 2 car ferries and about 5 hours of driving to get here, but we made it eventually… This is a short trail, 110 miles, we’re going to try and do it in 6 days, but so far it’s been amazing! we…
I don’t even remember my last post, was it from Stevens pass? Seems like so long ago even though I know it was only a few days. Anyway, I started hiking with a group of other north-bound section hikers who were finishing up their PCT hikes from previous years, so we all decided to get…
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…
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…
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…
I was ready to be done with the horribleness of California, but I wasn’t ready to be done with the PCT, so I compromised and decided to downgrade myself from “thru-hiker” to “section-hiker”. So I jumped up to Cascade Locks to hike Washington. Both the Sierras and Washington are some of the absolute best hiking…
Made it to Tahoe!! These last 3 days were grueling but oh so beautiful… In the Sierras I got into a pattern, hike to a major pass and then back down to a valley. It was basically a daily occurrence and made it easy to fall into a rhythm. Well, I don’t have that anymore,…
