Stevens Pass
After we broke camp the rains started again. The trail started with anotherclimb. At over 5,900 feet the rain turned to snow, luckily it didnt stick.
The trail was up and down all day; too bad the visibility was so poor. The
rain only got heavier as the day progressed, there were no dry places to get
out of the downpour. Our lightweight raingear does not hold up to this heavy
rain. By the time we arrived at Stevens Pass we were totally soaked and
extremely cold. We are so grateful to local worker, Scott Ashby, who gave us
a ride into Skykomish where we found refuge at the local hotel and enjoyed a
delightful dinner.
