    Kraig--great adventure! Nice to see you in Washington and it brought back fond memories of my own Enchanted Valley trek several years ago--minus the snow. I am not a big fan of snow on backpack trips, so I always do my Olympics or Cascades trips later in the season. You got to see so many bears--we didn't see bears or elk on our trip. I have also done that trip from the other side, up over Anderson Pass and then down into Enchanted Valley.

So you gave me a lot of additional information. Congratulations on your move. I love following your work and am intrigued by the idea of you leading some treks. I’ll have to give that some further thought…peace!

    O'Neil Pass up to Lake of the Valkyries and Anderson Glacier (that is all but gone) is a late season day-trip. Been there many times (4 that I can think of, easily) with and without bears. The lake used to be milk-white, you could hear the glacier cracking and popping as it moved down the valley, up to the very edge of the lake, and the whole valley looked like a different planet. It probably had a lot to do with the verdant forests one has to travel through to get to bare rock and 100's of feet of compressed, blue ice. Sadly, the last time I was there (late 90's) Anderson glacier had receded far up the valley and last reports I saw state that it is now gone. Still, would love to see the lake and surrounding boulders again. Thanks for sharing!

    Certainly a different experience hiking with a larger group! I myself am mainly solo hiking and I really felt that when you mentionned you push for longer harder days while having less of a camp life, but it holds its own uniqueness and beauty to it especially when I am recording my footage.
    It does look like a nice change of pace and the camp life looks fantastic for the group aspect, but I would have trouble as I really enjoy the push, the challenge and just love setting my own standard for speed, breaks, camps, start time etc.
    If I am not solo hiking I get my girlfriend and son out for nice slower days, but I dont quite have any hikers in my local friend group currently to have the group hiking as an option..
    Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves and perhaps we'll cross paths on the trail someday!
    Happy Hiking 🥾

    Gingerly is one of my favorite words! Although it doesn’t quite work to describe a slow trek, I bet it would still work to describe your newbies as it mean carefully or cautiously. I also use it as soft or sweetly. Ex She gingerly move the hair out of her face.
