Pacific Crest Trail — Washington

I completed the entire Washington section of the Pacific Crest Trail over several trips, with some parts hiked twice.

Harts Pass to Rainy Pass — August 2017

I hiked Section L with the scouts during a very smoky August. We hiked 10 miles north from Harts Pass and then south to Rainy Pass to make it a 50-miler.
