Wonderland trail: Day 12 of 12

September 1, day 12
Summerland to White River CG
Our last day on the trail. 
What starts out as a dream so far away, comes abruptly to an end and before we know it we are looking back on memories.
The day dawned foggy and cold again. I got this photo of the food bags hanging on the bear pole at camp early in the morning. 

I was really cold this morning, even my feet hurt and I couldn't wait to get moving so I could warm up. We had all agreed to hike out together. Our "trail friend Ken" met us in the morning and off we went.
We didn't have to walk far to see the mountain and some blue sky ❤.





We were nearing the road, so another wide highway trail due to the day hikers. We saw several Wonderland loop hikers along with a lot of day hikers as we made our way down.

I took a photo of the bridge below because our "Trail friend Ken's" son was on the crew that built it. I took a picture of Ken on it with his camera, so he could have a memory of it.

The trail to the last river crossing,

White River


One more look at Rainier peeking at us. Yes, we walked all the way around you 😁.

Finished!

Ken suggested a celebratory toast to our completion 🥂
Thank you Ken.

No bugs!
6 days of clouds and fog
3 days of rain
3 days of full sunshine
Getting at it everyday took it's toll on me, there were 3 days in particular that stand out that I didn't think I could go on. I did get a head cold, that explains why I was cold & tired so much the last few days. 
Thanks to my husband for being my Sherpa, my guide and my encourager. Thank you for helping me to chase this dream yet once again.
I can’t begin to explain how it felt to touch these treasured places in my heart once again. I am truly thankful that I was physically able to be there & to complete the “true” Wonderland loop w/out the alternate Seattle/Spray parks route for once in my life.

Wonderland trail complete!

Getting at it everyday took it's toll on me, there were 3 days in particular that stand out that I didn't think I could go on. I did get a head cold, that explains why I was cold & tired so much the last few days. 
Thanks to my husband for being my Sherpa, my guide and my encourager. Thank you for helping me to chase this dream yet once again.
I can’t begin to explain how it felt to touch these treasured places in my heart once again. I am truly thankful that I was physically able to be there & to complete the “true” Wonderland loop w/out the alternate Seattle/Spray parks route for once in my life.

Wonderland trail complete!

3 days of rain
3 days of full sunshine
Getting at it everyday took it's toll on me, there were 3 days in particular that stand out that I didn't think I could go on. I did get a head cold, that explains why I was cold & tired so much the last few days. 
Thanks to my husband for being my Sherpa, my guide and my encourager. Thank you for helping me to chase this dream yet once again.
I can’t begin to explain how it felt to touch these treasured places in my heart once again. I am truly thankful that I was physically able to be there & to complete the “true” Wonderland loop w/out the alternate Seattle/Spray parks route for once in my life.

Wonderland trail complete!
