Joining dbBrad (the best son ever) and dbBenton (the cutest aussie ever), on their Pacific Crest Trail adventure for two days was a dream-made-for-dbMom. The hike was only 4 miles, but 4 miles of steep. I felt like I was on a StairMaster for 4 miles up and 4 miles down. It's impossible to not find beautiful country no matter where one travels, but this Pacific NW knows how to leap into my heart. Oohlala!
Too many people in the wilderness result in too much trampling. But, fortunately,Surprise Lake is getting restoration attention.
Now here's a happy camper.

Hey DBBrad! It was awesome meeting you at Chinook Pass. You're a hero in my book (and to Stephen and Elizabeth for sure). I wish you sunny days, safe hiking and amazing adventures on the rest of your trip.
