Summit to Sea 2014
For the last couple of summers I have been looking at maps trying to figure out a nice long loop hike that would let me spend some time in the old-growth rain forests of the Olympic Peninsula. In June I became the owner of an Alpacka packraft, which made it possible to combine backpacking and rafting. I also felt that it had been way too long since I had been in an alpine environment and that a mountaineering route would be great. Thus was born the idea of climbing Mt. Olympus and then floating down the Hoh River to the Pacific Ocean. From the summit to the sea, from where water is born to where it ends.
