[pct-l] Glacier Peak Wilderness route?

[Jessica Winters]

I've hiked both routes. The original once when I thrued in 2002  
before the big storm and the reroute several times.   The original  
PCT is stunning but the reroute goes over Buck Creek Pass and I think  
it is one of the most beautiful passes in WA along with Little  
Giant's Pass (although this really is a butt kicker hiking out of the  
Napeequa Valley).  You won't be disappointed with the reroute!  It  
really is just as amazing and one of my favorite spots to hike each  
year!  Buck Creek Pass is superb, especially when the weather is  
clear.  It really is prime...

Happy hiking to all the hikers right now...  Wish I was with you!!!!!!

Love,
Wildflower
