7 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain • 1 night
Meh. Stupid NW weather. I'll juxtapose this one as a big wallop of balance to the prior Quintessential NW. Rain is also quintessential NW. Mnt. Conditions of Spring and Fall. Plopped down just shy of LC. Cleared Sat evening. Came back in Sunday AM.. then paused, and we retreated back down.
Everyone was skunked around the NW in their own way this weekend. So, the highlight of the trip was specifically being with friends and not getting wet at all, even though it rained a lot. No rain hiking. No packing up the tent in the rain. Those are the silver linings. And the exercise.
