Hello from Mazama! Washington served up a rough start but it’s great to be back on trail. Starting north from Hart’s Pass to tag the border in a little snowstorm. I got a ride up from Seattle with the lovely French Fry (SOBO ‘16) and two other hikers (true SOBOs just starting out). The three of us have stuck together so far, tagging the Canadian border and then making our way south to Rainy Pass. In the last 90 miles we’ve seen bears, walked in sleet and hail, bushwacked through berry bushes just starting to flower, and enjoyed some truly spectacular views.
