The Wonderland Trail

One summer, five of us took a leap of faith in doing one of Washington’s most coveted backpacking loops; Mt. Rainier’s Wonderland Trail. Some of us have never backpacked before this, myself included. Despite our inexperience, we journeyed 93 miles and recorded 25K+ in elevation gain over the course of 10 days. We shared unforgettable moments full of laughter, sadness, tears of joy, and all the range of emotions you could imagine would accompany a trek like this. We all look back on this trip with different take-aways and memories, yet each one of them is met with a sense of awe and wonder.
