My fourth and final trip through Stehekin last season. Hooray! I highly recommend visiting this special place deep in the heart of the North Cascades if you haven't been. And if you haven't tried Googling it, feel free to do so. :)

It took me TWO months to return to Stehekin as I dragged my feet, and that was only the second of the four trips I took last season. It was my second-longest backpacking trip after the Chilliwacks in late July. The upcoming two outings were one-offs.
