Monday, the 27th First born Lexi and I departed the Snoqualmie Pass PCT trailhead northbound at 1:15 pm, hiking to Ridge Lake and Spectacle Lake for 4 days/three nights. Thirty-five miles over thirty-six hours, averaging just under twelve miles a day.
Here's Lexi getting ready to shake her little tush on the Kendall Katwalk.
We had come on trail just after a weekend of rain & with the fortune of sunny skies for at least the days we'd be out. I knew that hikers who hadn't done any sections of the PCT wouldn't have an appetite for 15-20 mile days. That made me even more of a "comfort" hiker than ever. And I definitely would not have dragged her out if the rain had persisted.
