See here for the first part of Section I. Parts of Section I get side eyed far too much. Most are happy to walk the second half of it from Chinook Pass on Hwy 410 to Government Meadows (reached via FS 70 out of the village of Greenwater, off of Hwy 410) but sigh as… Continue reading PCT Hiking Section I – Part 2 (Chinook Pass to Snoqualmie Pass)
