What a great trip!! Reminds me of the way that I do backpacking...

I know where we are going, there is kinda a trail sometimes, its a bitch of a climb, who wants in . Oh and there is still 5ft of snow pack. (our first year to go in May)

My cousin and I go every year into the North Cascades, and every year we have at least one noobie who has never been into this area and in recent years they have also been new to backpacking. (I know I'm a terrible person) There is a reason only a handful of people get into this area, but it makes for a peaceful, and beautiful trip.

I would love to get down into that part of the country for a trip someday, looks like you guys had an amazing time.

My cousin shot a short vid on the way out.

We finished out the trail and hit the pipeline and headed to where we were gonna camp at the confluence of the pipeline and Roaring Plains.

The camp is at the lowest point. We had traveled over the top in the distance the day before

The first water we had camped near or even hiked near since our first day.

This really felt good!

Ratamahatta has the pics of our first night camp so I'll wait for him to fill that in.

Man, some really cool pics guys! Looks like it was an awesome adventure up there. Looks like an area I'd love to spend a couple of days wandering around in with a camera. Good use of skills and knowledge too, and great team work!
