Day 41: Big Passes Post
I walked 52440 steps on the trail today.
I traveled about 20 miles today.
8/30/17 We climbed over both Whatcom pass and Hannigan pass today for over a mile of elevation gain again. Terrific mountains and glaciers kept our attention much of the day. We've seen more glaciers here than in Glacier Nat'l Park. My leg continues to give me pain but wrapping it helps. A highlight of the day was riding across a roaring gorge on a self-propelled cable car. We each had to pull it across, climb in, then pull ourself across. Lots of fun but lots of work. We left the North Cascades National Park and are the only tent at a trailhead with about two dozen cars of backpackers on the local trails.
