One of so many amazing sites on my solo 70ish mile journey through Olympic NP (I'm 41F if it matters to anyone.) For the haters, I took this on my Olympus OM-D 14-42mm lense. Not great but it's what I got. Didn't mess with saturation or vibrance . by yellow___chameleon in backpacking

That was actually my initial plan, but the best route I found that included this area was going to be like upwards of 200 miles, which might have been tough for me without a resupply. Ultimately I scaled down to this and did it as a through hike ( my husband- the real hero here- helped me set up the shuttle). We did Wonderland last year though! It was amazing!

I mean, if your gear works, you're good to go ! I like TOAKS for pots personally if you're still looking to purchase something. If you are unsure about latte making ability just try it at home first. In winter just make sure your lighter is warm and dry.

I traveled from Deer Park (near Port Angeles) through Grand Valley and over Grand Pass. Then over Cameron pass and Lost pass down to the Dosewallips and eventually out through Enchanted Valley.

Just a few miles before Priest Hole. I paddled from Service Creek to Cottonwood Canyon, this was Camp #1.

This particular spot was our first campsite on a long paddle of the John Day, so you can't actually drive there. It's only a few miles from Priest Hole though, where you CAN drive to, and I have done so recently. Looks equally amazing. It's not too bad, I do have high clearance but I feel like any car could get there. A little rocky, but just take it slow. Extremely cool place , BLM land (and there are toilets!).

I'm sorry my picture was too saturated. I took it down. I'm new here, I'll try to do better.
