Since I haven't had a chance to participate in one of Washington Trail Association's weeklong "
volunteer vacations" this summer, I opted for one of their
Wildland Discovery Hikes. These are hikes organized and led by WTA staff. The weekend of August 26th was the North Fork Skykomish to Dishpan Gap hike: ~15 miles of trail hiking, and ~3 miles of hiking to the trailhead. The blueberries were ripe, the sun was out, and you couldn't have asked for a better group to hike with. Enjoy the
photo collect!
Update: I made a Topo map of the hike with elevation profile. It's an 11" x 17" format PDF created with National Geographic's Topo set for
Washington state. You can download the PDF by [
