Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. This makes me want to go camping again, although I wouldn't be going anywhere as gorgeous as that.
 
That look's fantastic. Those National Park's are beautiful setting's. Nothing like that anywhere around me.
 
Very, very nice neighbor! Some almost identical to ours but most of your pics were much better. My oldest boys and I are talking about doing that route before the oldest ships off to the sandbox. They both do the upper Dosewalips and Upper Lena several times a year. I know they ran the Mt. Constance route and it beat them up pretty bad. Anyhow, good on you for getting out there like that. It's inspirational.
 
That's some beautiful country you live in and some great pics thanks for sharing. Looks like a good time in the backcountry. :thumbup::cool:

Oh man........ my back hurts just thinking about that. Many sympathies for the pounding you musta taken. But the country sure is beautiful up that way.
 
I do love the Olympics but don't get out to that side often. I make do with the Cascades instead: )

Didn't you join the army? And if so are you home on leave?
 
Dude, you are getting some serious trail time in. Very nice! Thanks for putting the photos up.
 
Beautiful trip, welcome back to the PNW. But 60 pounds? Must have been carrying a lot of INFI......

nice! i was thinking of hitting up the other side before leaving. maybe sol duc, hoh, or quinault. any recommendations?
 
Thank you for sharing. I grew up on the West Coast, but have lived more than half my long life on the East Coast. It's like seeing pics of my childhood ...
