Wonderland Trail – Day 4

Today we hiked about 2,000′ up to the Mystic Camp by Mystic Lake over about 9 miles. The day was overcast, wet and again drizzly but most of the time we were in the forest so we didn’t get too soaked. But, putting up a wet tent in the rain, at the end of the day was not real fun! We had another creative meal of Pesto Chicken Sausage Pasta with Asparagus and Olives with fresh Cherry Tomatoes – what a treat! Then fresh pancakes for breakfast the next morning – how to get spoiled while backpacking, for sure.

This guy managed to get a feast in before the rain.
At the top of the pass out of Sunrise Camp.
Close to the Granite Creek Campground there were multiple waterfalls (far a 2025 Waterfall Calendar?)
Second one
Third one
Fourth one – a double!
Sort of soggy taking a break at the Granite Creek Campground
Cascade Frog – quite well camouflaged.
Once we got to camp a break in the rain and Zach and James were able to get a couple dining tarps up.
Dinner
and Savory Pancakes for breakfast the next day – Kodiak Cakes High Protein Pancake Mix with added lemon zest and Parmesan Cheese. YUM!
