Last night was the best sleep I've ever had on trail. I slept all night without waking up once! So, thoroughly rested, I started out the day with, of course, a climb. I'm hiking through the Glacier Peak Wilderness. It's rugged, wild, and breathtaking. The trail has been difficult with a lot of downed trees and overgrown with plants. But I had lunch on a ridge with a panoramic view of snow covered mountains and rocky spires. I crossed grassy hillsides and descended into valleys only to climb back up again. I saw two bears in the rocks high above me in the afternoon. I passed a few hikers but its been pretty isolated otherwise. I'm camped with Happy Plate, a section hiker who is hiking Ashland to Manning Park. She's super nice. I wish she could do bigger miles, I would enjoy hiking with her. I have to say I have discovered I like trail mix after all. Especially if there are lots of m&ms. It's like desert.
