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.

Glacier Peak Backpacking: Day 2
The highlight of today was seeing my first bear in two decades. He was rummaging around a meadow next to the backpackers camp at Image Lake. Explored some unmaintained trails above Image Lake. Headed down toward Canyon Lake but turned around when I realized there was no one around for miles. Visited the Miners Ridge Lookout Tower.
