Surprise! Another beautiful hike.
Trail was not as well maintained as the previous section. Signs were few and far between, even at intersections. If there are signs, you will hardly see the direction for PCT. But that's why we use maps :) Only thought I was lost a handful of times, and never actually was!
Water source, hard to find on multiple days. Late in the season, I was happy it wasn't more.
Lots of burned forests. Made for a creepy foggy evening hike.
As beautiful as this section is, it was more of a get me thru it to get to the next location. The PCT thru hikers made it so fun, I finally was able to almost keep up with them, gosh if you want a positive human experience, hike with or around the PCT.
Downer to the hike, which put a cloud on it all. my last night I stayed at the summit inn. Many things are terrible about this place, from customer service and on... This doesn't have to do with the trail, but it kinda does if you're wanting a shower and laundry and bed. Not worth it.
DO NOT STAY AT THE SUMMIT INN AT SNOQUALMIE! stay anywhere else, camp anywhere, do not stay there. If you do, this would be the place to use your bear mace! At 730 am the male house keeper walked into my room, while I was in bed. long story short, he attempted another time to enter my room before checkout. That is only 25% of why you should NOT STAY THERE!
