PCT Washington - Chinook Pass to Snoqualmie Pass

My hiking partner, Carolyn, and I head out on a challenging section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) - 330 miles from Chinook Pass, near Mt Rainier in Washington, to Canada. With nearly 100,000 feet elevation gain and about the same amount in decent, it’s known for its rugged terrain and breathtaking beauty. With fires that are burning 1000’s of acres in sections to the North at the time we started the hike, we’ll see how far we can get on the trail. This video covers the first major section from Chinook Pass to Snoqualmie Pass. Thanks to Carolyn for contributing some of the content.

I really enjoyed watching your guys' adventure! ... such beautiful country! ... I really liked the forest on Day 4 - the trees filtered by the gorgeous thick fog ... also, the wonderful flowers and waterfalls along your path 🫶

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it! Northern Washington is quite beautiful. Grateful to be out hiking there.

Wow Brad, such beautiful scenery! When I watch your videos, I feel like I'm walking right behind you. I should visit the Pacific Northwest soon. I've always wanted to see Olympic National Park.

Thanks for your kind words Dave! The PNW is indeed a place of great beauty. Colorado is too. If you make it out this way I’d be happy to show you some of the sights. 🌞
