Backpacking NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK | 4 Day Adventure on the THUNDER CREEK trail | Virtual Hike

This was a four day, 3 night backpacking trip I did with my girlfriend on the Thunder Creek Trail in North Cascades National Park in fall 2020. Originally we had planned to do a much different hiking trip into the Alpine of Washington State, but the epic smoke from forest fires of the Pacific Northwest altered our plans into much more of a wooded adventure. Stayed at Neve Camp, Junction, and back to Neve. Between Neve and Junction there is a 1,700 foot elevation gain. Seriously check out the link below for some incredible music you can use in your own videos--they have a MASSIVE catalogue.

Just found your channel, amazing content. My husband and I live in Seattle and a couple times a month we take a few days off to go backpacking. The great thing about WA is that you can find almost every type of hike you can think of, the variation of terrain here is incredible 🏞

I am SO jealous. I actually live on the East Coast

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

I couldn't agree more. Of all the things I've seen there is nothing that gives me goosebumps like giant trees/old growth forests even if they are in small patches.

[@mikewanders]

It’s just magical

I know the trail well. Went there in 2021 all the way to Thunder Basin. Amazing all the way to the glaciers. Skakit Queen had mining equipment and waterfalls and really dense forest and the worst climb of the trip up to Thunder Basin. Only saw people at the Junction campsites.

You guys should check out the Thermacell mosquito repeller for future trips if you dont mind the extra little bit of weight. Great videos, cant stop watching!

[@klubstompers]

Man, you must really be into suffering, not from the hiking, but from being a Dolphins fan.

[@mikewanders]

hahaha

[@normalincoln8502]

There are Bigfoot there too, could be what made that splash. Very beautiful there

[@mikewanders]

Lol. Let’s be real. They’re the main reason I went to Washington!
