Max and Daddy Backpack at Mt Rainier

Max and Brian went on Max’s first real backpacking trip this past weekend!

We went with Max’s friend “Max L” and his dad. We started at Mowich Lake on the northwest corner of Mt Rainier National Park and hiked to Eagle’s Roost Camp in the “Spraypark” area.

Over two days, we did about ~11 miles and ~2500ft of elevation gain. We enjoyed a dinner of freeze dried vacuum packed meals including Beef Stroganoff, Mac and Cheese, Chicken and Rice, and Chili Mac! For dessert, astronaut ice cream of course.

We even ran into a black bear busy eating berries to prepare for hibernation. He was about ~30 ft away, we left him alone until he walked off and then we could pass on the trail.

Here are a few other pictures from our adventures!
