IH is best visited in late spring or early summer. By the time it dries out (say, late summer) it's not nearly as interesting.
But... the mosquitos!!!??

Re: Wonderland Trail September 2020 - Smoke & Mist

Thanks for your detailed write-up. Too bad about the weather. This trip is high on my list (preferably with sunny skies)! Did you hammock camp the whole way (your intro suggests you did). How'd it go? I am a hammock camper - have found that while I don't usually sleep 100% in my hammock, I do sleep ...

Congrats! That's a great accomplishment and should be a fun memory to look back on. Thanks! Time to plan the next adventure... Three sisters, Loowit, The Enchantments, Wonderland...so many options! Yes to all of those! Same list I have going. And don't forget the Wallowa's in northeastern Oregon!
