The path up is a beat down – 3000ft gain in the first 2 miles – and the payoff at the top is fantastic.

PCT WA Section J – Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass
What I did on my summer vacation: section hiked PCT Washington Section J between Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes — about 72 miles across 5 days — with the adventurous and intrepid Mark Croft. Photo highlights below from both of our cameras. Made extensive use of Halfmile’s PCT maps for trail navigation.
And here’s a link to the full screen slideshow if you’d like a bigger view.

The new trail at Mailbox Peak
Nice job by the WA State Department of Natural Resources and WTA volunteers with the new trail up Mailbox Peak. It’s still a grunt, now less technical.
Old and new trails side by side.
