Day 26

14 miles
Dirty chai is my new go-to drink at coffee shops so I had one along with two breakfast burritos. Back at Heidi’s we laced our new shoes up and packed our bags. A quick drive to Snoqualmie and we were back on trail. The climb up was a constant stream of day hikers and trail runners. Figures that a trailhead within an hour of a major city would be a little busy. It took us 8 hours to get to camp with just one 15-minute break for water and a snack. This section has the most elevation gain per day of all of the sections we’re doing on this trip so we will have to work harder to keep our mileage up. On the way down to camp, we got behind a couple of mountain goats that were using the trail. They didn’t seem too eager to move out of our way, but with some rocks in their direction they eventually moved along. When we got to camp, Yardsale and Chickadee were waiting for us. Tomorrow we can continue North with them.
