My goal in 2025 is to hike the Wonderland 3 times to make the numbers even; 40 times at age 70. This video showcases my hikes in July and August. #40 is still pending, as I hiked Longmire to White River CCW in early September, but was forced to withdraw from the trail due to heat and smoke. Doing 3 day trips means that nearly every day begins and ends in darkness, so the benefit of combining my CCW and CW hikes means that most sections of the trail are represented, along with both the Spray Park alternate and the Ipsut Pass "regular" route. Filmed in 4K, run time 55 minutes. Part II will (hopefully) be a 40th special edition. Please enjoy! Links to the blog writeups:

#38 July 22-24* I hiked the section from So. Puyallup to Longmire on August 13 as a “repair” due to exiting the trail to the West Side Road and the main road to Longmire because of foot issues (It was still a 36 mile day)

#39 August 19-21
