All ready to hit the trail!

Every journey begins with the first step.

The Hoh Rian Forest is a magical green landscape.

The trail is well maintained in many parts, but not all.

Day 2 of the hike up to the glacier opens on the Hoh River.

The most challenging part of the hike!

Climbing over 3,500 feet in 4.5 miles is exhausting.

We made it to base camp at Glacier Meadows!
