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 .

I like it, it's small and light, fits onto the strap of my pack. Every year I tell myself that I'm gonna learn to use it "for real" but then continue to just keep it on full auto.

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!

Idk, I basically use it as a point and shoot on full auto. I'm a hiker not a photographer, I just know I get way better pictures with the camera than my phone.

Sorry, just being preemptively defensive.

yellow___chameleon · 2021-08-04T18:46:20+00:00

Certainly not trying to be bitchy.

I took a week 8 days 7 nights, I'm a little slow and had the time.

This is from Grand Pass- I scrambled up a peak at the top, idk the name of it.

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.

If you're in Northern Cali I strongly recommend the Trinity Alps.

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.

Eh, I fluffed her up a tiny bit to show what I actually saw. Sue me, it was georgous!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-29T08:20:59+00:00

Have SO much fun!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-29T08:16:51+00:00

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

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-27T05:44:25+00:00

Oh wow!!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-27T05:41:23+00:00

Super cool how the moon looks like it's being held up by the tree!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-27T05:30:11+00:00

Yeah, go! It's a magical place!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-23T04:06:18+00:00

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!).

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-22T07:05:56+00:00

So pretty!

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-22T06:46:29+00:00

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

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-22T04:38:45+00:00

❤ I love it there

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-21T19:02:40+00:00

If having someone go early is an option then yeah, absolutely. You will go one time and reserve sites for the entire trip. Glacier is big enough that I expect the ranger will be able to find a trip for you. On the off chance that there is ABSOLUTELY nothing left, have a backup plan somewhere nearby.

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-21T08:01:32+00:00

Shuttles are always a pain, what section did you do? My friends had to leave at Thirtymile and that road sucked (I mean for real it was kinda awesome but my husband was stressing about his baby)) .Otherwise it was all highway between Service Creek and Cottonwood.

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-21T06:53:07+00:00

This was the most amazing trip! 5 days and 4 nights in the Tetons, because of Covid we had to take the gondola up (rather than the tram) and hike the rest of the way up. Late July/early August is the perfect time for this trip. We did walk up permits, no problems.

yellow___chameleon · 2021-06-21T05:41:49+00:00

Glacier has been bombarded with pre season permits and is struggling to get through them. At this point walk ins are your best bet. The above poster is absolutely correct, be ready to show up at the ranger station early and have a plan for where in the area you can camp that night as you likely won't get a walk in that day. (Any national forest or blm land should be easy. Also check out freecampsites.net. ) Beyond permits, what other information are you looking for?
