Backpacking the Wonderland Trail. DAY 6: Indian Bar to Longmire. FINAL DAY ON TRAIL!

It offers hikers an opportunity to experience a diverse range of ecosystems, stunning landscapes, and breathtaking views of Mount Rainier.

Thank you all for joining me on my day by day of the Wonderland Trail! Is the Wonderland Trail on your hiking "to do" list? What backpacking trips do you have planned for 2024?

Doing the Chelan Lakeside Trail as my first trip after total knee replacement. Hoping to put a bunch of miles on the new knee. Thanks for your reporting. It gets me excited about getting out!😀

Wow! You actually filmed where my group started the WT! That little road crossing along Stevens Canyon Road! I had never seen it in anyone's videos before. I did the WT with Sierra Club this past Sept. I think we started on the day you finished--Labor Day? We did 10 days. Congratulations on your outdoor achievement!

I've wondered if people start the trail from Stevens Canyon road or not. Very cool and congrats on completing the WT!
