Since I promised some of you updates of my travels, I've included photos from my 75-mile solo trip. I was expecting it to take me 6.5 days, but due to constant rain I made it in only 4.5 days. Enjoy! :)
Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
8 miles
 |
| Steven's Pass in the summer |
 |
| Lake Susan Jane, right at the beginning of 3 days of solid rain. |
Day 2:
12.5 miles
 |
| The trail was beautiful, but that low brush gets you WET. |
 |
| Fatty marmot out to bask in the 30 minutes of sun we had that day |
 |
| Peiper Pass |
Day 3:
16.2 miles
 |
| More rain! |
 |
| This is the river where I slipped on a rock and fell |
 |
 |
| Although you can't see it, the cuts on my finger were the worst. Also, because of the continuous rain, these cuts didn't even scab over until I got off of the trail 3 days later. |
Day 4:
20 miles
 |
| Alpine lake |
 |
| Descending through a burn zone |
 |
| I forgot that I had Theo chocolate! This got me up the final climb from mile 18 to mile 20 that day. |
Day 5:
18.2 miles
 |
| I hate scree |
 |
| Kendall Katwalk |
 |
| I made it! |
 |
| My favorite part of hiking |
