Canada looms.....31 miles away with the sign saying it all
Tiptoe & I haven't seen a PCT hiker for two days now. There is the bubble ahead of us that streamed out of Stehekin while those following have not made up any miles on us......Weta

Day 146 - I Can Smell Maple Syrup...
Mile 2598.4 to Harts Pass - 21.1 miles
Canada looms.....31 miles away with the sign saying it all
The day was about the drop from Methow Pass at 6500 feet to 4300 feet. Then it was a climb back up to 7000 feet through Glacier Pass and up on to an exposed ridge. On the drop down from Methow Pass the sheer walls of Mt Hardy loomed large
The climb back up had us pounding up switchbacks which you can see in the foreground with Azurite Peak opposite
On the other side of the ridge you can see the trail ahead towards Tatie Peak on the right
Harts Pass eventually appeared to the north with the unpaved through road being the last one before Canada. The area was busy as hunting season was opening
We pass under Slate Peak to the left in the morning before heading north towards Canada. Oh....and we went through the 2600 mile marker today. It all seems non-sensical with these big numbers but we've done then!!

ReplyDeleteCheers Perry. The lack of any coverage since Stevens Pass means I am all done now & updating the blog from Vancouver. About to do the last entry. Thanks again for all your support Perry.
