@quingable: The craziest place I've ever slept👇🏻 Would you hike, bike & climb 10 hours just to sleep in a hut (that was built in 1931) on top on the mountain?! This place has been on my bucketlist for years… so when a few of my friends said LET'S PICK DATES… it was a pinch me moment. Because it was actually happening. But the logistics are kinda wild… which is why you don't see that many people doing it. Since the original road is washed out, you have to bike 10 miles in with your 45+ pound packs up… which mine caught a tree going up and took me OUT. Then you hide the bikes in the forest (spooky) and start the 5000ft of elevation gain hike/climb up. Plus, add a bit of scary ice crossings with ice axes & then some free solo and ladder moments… and you're UP. & you do all of this without knowing if someone is already in the lookout…. So you bring a tent just in case. But… after 10 hours… we got up to an empty lookout! We stayed for two nights and had the most magical sunrise and sunset. & on the second night… a couple joined us in the cabin AND GOT ENGAGED. On the last night, it SNOWED & weather was supposed to get even worse, so then we hiked back down in some pretty wild conditions. Huge shoutout to the best mountain crew. This was SO FUN to do w/ yall. @Wylder || Vanlife 🚐🏔️ @maggiizine @Carson Olmstead So knowing all of that… would you do this? PS… I also keep thinking to myself… 2020 Quin (who had never been on a backpacking trip before) would have been like "YOU DID WHAT?!" Such a proud little moment for me.
