We woke early and decided to hike out the Snowgrass flats trail and finish the trip at this point. I got on my Spot messenger and sent out a message to our ride, they replied quickly and we were off. Our daughter did amazing for not backpacking for nearly 30 years. She took notes and armed herself with many tips for future trips with her family❤

At the trail junction
Savoring the last views of the high country. My heart is full.
Time for the walk out.
Bypass trail. *remember this trail from the Cispus basin on Day six??
A comfy seat of rock.
We crossed a nice river with thank-goodness a bridge across it!
The trailhead. Our ride came up the road shortly after we got to the parking area. So everything went as planned. What a wonderful trip.
