Pacific Crest Trail Association

Our friends Dick and Barb, recently gifted us a membership of the Pacific Crest Trail Association.  It was a delightful and unexpected way of setting us in the mood for our trekking expedition, planned for later in the year. We’re hoping to walk 100 miles in the Cascade Mountains between Steven’s Pass over the shoulder of Glacier Peak.  Just looking at the photographs in the magazine and calendar has left us feeling beyond excited.  We’re going to be undertaking a number of training walks between now and August to ensure we’re in as good shape as possible for the trail

Cascade Mountains

On hearing of the Cascade Mountains and Glacier Peak, it’s easy to imagine wonderful scenes of snowy capped peaks, where icy rivers tumble over rocky outcrops and trees stand sentinel against the skyline. And in 2014, we have every intention of seeing if our imagining lives up to reality as we are planning to undertake a walk along the Pacific Crest Trail with our friends, Dick and Barb. It'll be the first time we've ever been in genuine “wilderness” and we are looking forward to it with great excitement. We've started the research and are counting the days until August!!
