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.

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.

On tap for today is a big climb. We are going up to 6,500 feet and then a little later, over 7,000 feet. This is going to be hard day

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

Trout Lake Evacuated: A level 2 fire alert near Trout Lake just off the Pacific Crest Trail resulted in all hikers camped behind the General Store to be evacuated.

Again! Fire evacuation from the PCT just short of the trailhead for Trout Lake.

An Easier Day on the Trail after the Goat Rocks ordeal, which started with a 1,000 foot ascent.

The next PCT section was the infamous Goat Rocks Wilderness. The hike started with a 2,500 foot elevation gain and the promise of a tough hike.

I really did not want to go back to the trail today, but there is no choice in the matter now. I guess I’m leaving Packwood.

Today, I hike to White Pass and hitch to Packwood. I have a resupply box waiting for me at the post office in Packwood.
