Gavin, Zoe, and Zoe's friend Mollie begin the ford of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River.
Martin approaching the deepest part of the river. Earlier in the year this section isn't safely crossable, but in late August the flow rate is totally…
Zilly isn't sure what to make of this as Gavin bravely carries him across the river.
Zoe and Mollie warming their legs up in the sun after making it across the main part of the river.
Zoe taking over dog carrying duties for the shallower crossing.
Gavin questioning the hike choice.
There's a trail somewhere in here right? Nope...we made our own trail after a fork we followed came to an abrupt end and we didn't feel like backtracking.
So many ferns.
One of several small stream crossings along the way. There's no shortage of water here even in the driest part of summer.
Now onto a very old logging road that had logs below it. It was pretty wild.
Our moss garden snack spot.
Zilly explaining the ancient abandoned metal gear from the logging days of many decades ago.
Lunch and turnaround spot! We had to give up on our goal of reaching Pratt Lake, and our goal of packrafting, since the hike turned out to be longer and slower…
