LARCHES!!!!!!! They're turning at higher elevations. Trails are in FANTASTIC shape, thank you NCNP! Its 5 miles from the Easy Pass trailhead to the Pass, then down to Fisher Creek campground. 2800ft up, then 1450ft down.
I hiked here for Rikki's 100th Bulger and completion of the Bulger list. Here's a preview of what I wrote,
"On 9/23, Rikki became the 92nd person (and first queer, disabled, female climber) to finish the Washington Bulgers! I met Rikki through the PNW Peak Baggers in 2020, and I am honored to witness this historical moment.
In June, while descending Cosho Peak (her 88th Bulger), Rikki fell 50 feet down a gully. Her fiance Alden (and record-holder for most solo’ed Bulgers) would beat government-funded resources by hours as he hiked to her through the night. I would get her SOS from Baker and meet her helicopter the next day. The fall would only slow Rikki down a little- her scars are still visible..."
