This beautiful 44 mile loop was just as spectacular as expected and lived up to the hype. After four days, Dave, Boone and I enjoyed some of the finest views in the central cascades. The highlight of the trip was watching a female wolverine scurry across the boulder field at Spider Gap. What an amazing experience, shared with two of my favorite hiking companions!
