PCT Section Backpack: Rainy Pass to Canada!

This 9-day backpack is the final installment in an epic multi-year trek along the Pacific Crest trail from southern Oregon to the Canadian border. The hike will start at Rainy Pass in Washington, follow the PCT along the North Cascades up to the Canadian border, and then return to Harts Pass to end. The trek will require a car-shuttle with a one car left at Rainy Pass and another at Harts Pass. Because it is a long drive we will car camp the first night at Colonial Creek South Campground which is on Diablo Lake (south end of Ross Lake). This will leave 9 days on the trail.
