This year’s hike of the Wonderland Trail (#33) was in many ways one of my best ones. I was in excellent shape, so I was able to cover the 30 miles or so per day with over 8,000’ of gain with few problems. I went earlier in the season (July 20-22) so spent very little time hiking in the dark (14-15 hour days). It had been a while since I had done a CCW loop so even the views were fresh. I enjoyed excellent weather, escaping the smoke encountered in 2020. All in all an excellent transit without too much suffering, something to embrace at age 66. I’m not sure how much longer I can do a 3 day transit but #33 was very encouraging! Blog write up here.
