Hard Core Hikers

On Monday morning 8 PCT hikers left out from Trinity headed to Stehekin but first they had to get across Buck Creek Pass a 5900' pass to get to the PCT and back on course to make it to Canada, there was new snow down to about 5000' and they were hoping to make it there and headed down again before the day was over but they had to contend with the snow that had fallen and the clouds surrounding the mountains. It rained all day yesterday with the mountains only peeking out of the clouds for brief moments during the day. Yesterday afternoon while the rain had let up we went for a walk as the kids were getting restless and we came upon a couple of more hikers headed up to Buck Creek Pass but it was 4pm at that time. They had made the trip before but not with this much snow on the ground and more on the way with the snow level down to 4500' and then down to 3500' tonight and 3000' Thur which means all of the hikers will be doing most of their hiking in the snow, to me it didn't appear that they had the gear to get through much snow and the weather service shows that there is around 4-15 " at the elevations they are going to have to travel over. They are trying to beat the winter snows to Canada, this should be interesting for them this early in the year. We send them all Trinity vibes and best wishes for a safe journey to all of them on the trail.
We found our Paradise, hope you find yours too.
