So Brian comes up to me this morning and said he was thinking. Being eager to tell him what I was thinking, I interrupted him and said I was thinking about an alternate trail to take the teens if Rainier didn’t work out. I said, “How about the back side of Goat Rocks starting at White Pass?” Brian said that’s exactly what he was thinking about! So there you are! We think alike even though he’s much smarter than me!
So “Plan B” is to start at White Pass, Washington and hike South on the Pa
cific Crest Trail, making our way over the top of Old Snowy Mountain and connecting with Lily Basin Trail, hiking to the trailhead on the North end. Campsites are plentiful and will give us an opportunity to camp, once again, below Hawkeye Point and see all the sights of 2 years ago plus some! Brian, you HAVE to be on this one!So, if The Wonderland Trail application is rejected we will proceed to Plan B and do the PCT from White Pass!
It’s a WIN WIN !! I like it!
Have you forgotten about the that killer 4 hour start?? That knee brace on your knee isn't for looks.
