My PCT Oregon/Washington Gear List

Here is the list of gear I used between Crater Lake (PCT mile 1820) and the US-Canada border.

I think this photo captures what I felt at the moment. The first is unfiltered. I think I like the second one better, but is that cheating? #keplertrack

Preparing my pack to ferry across Hugh Gorge. Last time (April 2021), I could just barely walk through with my pack on. This time? Not a chance. #larapintatrail
