Alpine Lakes PCT Backpacking: Day 1

Exploring a beautiful section of the PCT this weekend. Alpine lakes all around with many views of Mount Rainier. Really glad I made the long drive up here. Just saw a man hiking barefoot with a walking stick. A few mosquitoes but my permethrin treated clothes are working really well so far.

Amsterdam's city council voted to shut down the city's cruise terminal to reduce mass tourism.
