Leaving the Washington Alpine Club
Today I head out, leaving the Washington Alpine Club, and head for White Pass, which will be my next stop. There is a fire reported not too far from the Pacific Crest Trail near White Pass. I’m hoping that doesn’t detour my hike like what happened up at Harts Pass.

Possibly the Hardest Hike Ever
Most of the trail was filled with skree. My ankles were rolling and twisting on the rocks. I even fell several times. It was possibly the hardest hike ever.

Lake Waptus Campsite
I ran out of water, but a source was a half hour away. After getting water, I headed to a Lake Waptus campsite. It is the only campsite for about 10 miles.

Evacuated from the PCT
Evacuated from the PCT: A tent is setup at Harts Pass by the PCTA and word is that the trail is closed. It’s the “Easy” fire and the trail south is closed.
