Glacier Peak Backpacking: Day 1

The first photo is the view from near my camp on Cloudy Pass. Today has been incredible but tough. Hiked 20 miles with 6400’ elevation gain. This is not like the PCT, it’s rough trails that go straight up for hours. But i’m so happy, I wanted an epic long weekend and Glacier Peak Wilderness is providing that in spades so far.

@andrewbriscoe omg. just beautiful. 😍 Thanks for the hard work you put in to bring these amazing views to the comfort of my couch. 😆
@KengOnTheRoad Thanks! I had no idea what to expect at Cloudy Pass but it sounded like a popular place so I slowly made the final ascent. Very happy I made it up there. Super cold that night though.
