Nason Creek Campground, Wenatchee National Forest
Awoke to a beautiful day in our little camp spot. I got up and started the morning off right with the frying pan, some potatoes, garlic powder/salt, eggs, and so forth. I would say that the Big T was pleased with the outcome.
Decided to go for a hike…after getting a little lost and finding some guy’s place that was off the grid, we finally turned around and found the turn off we had missed – White River – and drove another 6 or 7 miles to the trailhead. We had stopped at the ranger station a few miles earlier to get our Forest Pass, but they were closed (budget cuts); then there was not a box to buy a tag at the trailhead. Rats. Talked to some backpackers just coming off the trail, asked them if they knew where to get a tag, and voila! They gave us theirs.
Up, up, up the trail we went! And I do mean UP! It was a great hike on the Twin Lakes Trail in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. I was sure glad to have my poles with me! Around mile 5 on the hike, we had an awesome river crossing across a log and another that was not as exciting.. We met two young men who yelled at us to see if we had any bug spray they could have…we saved them as it was a bit buggy in places. Got up to the lower of the two Twin Lakes, found a great rock to sit on, had lunch, soaked my feet, and then made our way back. Great trail with lots of great scenery. The total was about 7 miles.
Overall, a super day!
