Backpacking Glacier Peak

Photos are up from out four-day, 40-mile, 7,900 ft. eleveation gain backpacking trip through the Glacier Peak Wilderness in North-Eastern Washington. And yes, that is a bear. In fact, it charged Justin. But it was cute, really. So cute we offered it out dirty dishes and ran away-- luckily, it wasn't interested. Many more adventures ensued, less of them with wildlife than with walking, and we all enjoyed ourselves (and relaxed!) quite thoroughly. My initial apprehension about carrying a 35 lb. backpack was assuaged with some proper load bearing adjustments and a lot of "just getting used to it." I'd do it again, in a heartbeat, any time I can get away.
