BACKPACKING

Hiking to Glacier Peak

By Foreign Natives

August 2^nd, 2015

On the long weekend of the 4th of July, we finally had 3 days to do what we love most: spending time in the nature. We were in Seattle’s REI buying some gear and trying to find a nice route and a map when an old woman approached us: “do you need help? I know everything about the Cascades mountain range, and I can show you the most beautiful and uncrowded routes”. Sure!

Write your story here. (Optional)

The route started in a pine forest and climbed fast to reach the Pacific Crest Trail, which would take us to the base of Glacier Peak on a path along several lakes of deep blue color.

We spent the first night camping near a lake, watching the starts and trying not to die from fly bites that wouldn’t let us sleep at times. But it was worth the suffering.
