We decided to go to Harts Pass today and ended up cranking it so fast we were there 31 miles later by 5:30pm. Then it happened. Massive magic. A hiker (Serpant Slayer) who lives in WA set up at the pass.
There isn’t enough room in this post to explain how amazing the night was. I will just say: dry loaner clothes after a day in the rain, cheeseburgers with sauteed onions, tons of snacks, salad with lots of veggies, campfire, awesome company.
Other hikers here include: Flash, Lone Ranger, Milkshake, Cliffhanger, Buckeye, Swift, Hurricane, and Dreams. We are all planning to do the 31 or so to the border tomorrow. The plan is to camp there then the next morning go the 8 miles into Manning Park Lodge. That’s where I’ll catch a Greyhound bus to Vancouver, then a flight to LAX.
So close.
Figgy just saw on FB that you ‘summited’ – Congrats!
Well done, Comet! So sorry you didn’t get the magic near Trout Lake, but I’m very happy I could do you at Hart’s Pass. Pass it on. All the best, Dan PS. Give Ben my best if you see him again.
