Backpacking - The Pacific Crest Trail, Washington - Bridge of the Gods to White Pass

Описание: The first 150 miles of the PCT from Bridge of the Gods to White Pass in the evergreen state of Washington...
I spent the greater part of July 2019 hiking north on the PCT through the southern third of Washington. Having only one vehicle lead to some logistic challenges that meant to keep going past White Pass, I would basically have to do all "out and back" type hikes, thus hiking the same sections twice to continue up the PCT. Once that reality sat in, I decided to put the rest of the PCT on pause until I can hike it from Mexico to Canada in one shot, and then set out to explore other areas in Washington that allowed me to do various types of loop hikes instead.
Section 1 starts at the trailhead just off of FR 23 north of Trout Lake and goes north back to the Coleman Weedpatch trail intersection, where I dove off and cruised back into home base at Walupt Lake.
Section 2 starts at the Bridge of the Gods on the Washington / Oregon border and goes north to the trailhead north of Trout Lake just off FR 23.
Section 3 then flips all the way around to the north and begins at the White Pass trailhead and goes south back to the Nannie Ridge trail intersection, where I dove off and returned to home base at Walupt Lake.
I completed two other day-hikes that were not filmed that are part of my PCT experience. One from the Coleman Weedpatch trail intersection north to the Walupt Lake trail intersection, and another from the Walupt Lake trail intersection north to the Nannie Ridge trail intersection. I hiked these sections solo, in late June, well before thru-hikers started coming through. I saw absolutely no one on these hikes and the views were pretty much just green tunnels, with just a few exceptional overlooks of Walupt Lake. I added this mileage into my PCT total trail miles between sections 1 and 2 in the film.
This was definitely a highlight of the summer of 2019 for me, and even tho I am pretty much a lone wolf hiker, I made lots of friends on these hikes and fell in love with the PCT community.
Thank you to all who made it such a memorable experience, and thank you to YOU for watching!
Peace
