Road Trip – Omaha to Seattle – Day 10 – NCNP– September 20, 2010

Woke up in our room, got our stuff together and left about 9:30am, found a sweet little bakery in the town and had some great food and good conversation with some of the locals and set off to do some more hiking in the rain. We stopped and talked to the rangers and decided our best course of action. We wanted to get to the glacier on Mt. Baker. We set off on our second straight day of constant rain and hiking. We did the most amazing hike in my life possibly, hard to compare it to some of my others, but probably at least in the top 3. Winding through huge forests, rivers, glacial creeks, mountain valleys, and moraines and sooo much more. A great hike, nevermind we took a wrong turn and did a different hike than we meant to, it was still amazing. We then used the rest of our day to drive through the North Cascade National Park and shot a few photos before nightfall, and just took in the beauty around us.
Again, decided to stay in a hotel instead of camp in the rain. So we went back to town and ate in a small place where the owner also owned a motel, so we had our meals, good nachos, I had the salmon special served with vegetables and wild long grain rice, and then we retired to our hotel, which is cool. Pretty tired now, sorry my last few entries were short, but I tried to remember a few days at a time, and I have a decent buzz going.....
