| A very safe crossing? |
| Glacier Peak |
| You can see the PCT zigzagging down the side of the mountain |
| Reunited with Sweet Tooth & Pants Off Dance Off who were also out, completing the rest of their thru-hike from last year |
| The trail took us next to some giant pine & cedars |
| Touching a glacier |
| Dinner & breakfast we packed out from Stehekin Bakery - we had already shoved a few of these down our gullets...but there always seemed to be room for more! |
| North Cascades National Park |
| A lovely campsite just north of Rainy Pass |
| The first threat of snow at 7,000 ft turned out to just be cold, windy & frosty |
| Avalanche damage |
| Staying toasty |
| 35 miles to go to the border! |
| Took my hat off & my hair was stuck that way |
| Enjoying our views on our final day of hiking on the U.S. portion of the PCT |
| The border! |
| Tree cut at the border on the other side of the country - twice in one summer was pretty special |
