Rain on the Trail
It did start raining in the afternoon. Rain is not my friend. It usually means that I’ll end up with hypothermia. Fortunately, I was close to several campsites.

Climb to Fire Creek
The climb to Fire Creek is the reason I brought my microspikes with me. There was supposed to be a lot of snow at the very peak.

Punisher on the Move
I met a hiker that had started in Campo on the Mexican border. His trail name is Punisher. He told me he started the trail on April 29th, which is 82 days ago.

Suiattle Bridge Campsite
On the way to Suiattle Bridge, the hiking was much easier. Although blowdowns are of concern, on this section of the trail there were not that many.

Back on the PCT
After 2 days in Stehekin, it’s time to get back on the PCT. A shuttle picked us up at 8:00 and took us for an hour long ride out to the trailhead.

Stehekin, WA
Bridge Creek Campground was left behind at 7:15 on my way to Stehekin, WA. This will be my first town stop this hike. It’s 10 miles from the trailhead to town.

Long Day to Bridge Creek Campground
I still haven’t recovered from yesterday’s grueling elevation gain hike. Today the plan is to go 18 miles, which is a long day to Bridge Creek campground.

Harts Pass to Brush Creek
I returned to the Pacific Crest Trail and began hiking South from Harts Pass to Brush Creek. I was hiking on the PCT last year but fires ran me off the trail
