Day 4 of 5 of our Olympic & Mount Rainier backpacking series was a test of grit and endurance 🌲⛰️

We woke up at 4AM at Deer Lake in Olympic National Park, packed up camp in the dark and pouring rain, and hiked 4.5 miles back to the Sol Duc trailhead — soaked but determined. After a 5.5-hour drive to Mount Rainier, we hit the trail again, hiking 4.7 miles to our Lake George campsite.

Things didn’t get any easier — nonstop rain, wet gear, and our buddy Walter had to turn back due to a knee injury. Spirits were tested, but we pushed through to be ready for our final day in the backcountry.

💧 Soaking wet.
🥾 Nonstop hiking.
🌲 Two national parks in one day.
This one was a challenge.
