9.5 miles of hiking • 4750' elevation gain • 1 night
Took a much needed day away from work and met up with my buddy Theo for a quick overnighter. With a questionable forecast in the N. Cascades we turned our attention to the Teanaway area. Mostly clear and no chance of rain seemed like a good way to spend our first camping trip of the year. Turned out to be a great idea and we even found some corn !!! This was the first trip that I have actually had to carry my skis and lucky me... I had a full pack with camping gear to go along with it as well !!! The actual weight of the pack with skis didn't seem too bad though. I have carried worse that's for sure.
We had a great camping spot right in the middle of Navaho and Earl. It offered us 2 days of touring straight from camp. The skinning conditions were great and we were able to cover a lot of ground. The turns up high were very nice and lower down was a bit sloppy. Everything is melting out fast... so get up and get some while you can.
