Wonderland Trail

The Wonderland Trail was amazing. Gorgeous views of the mountain, sun was shinning.  Thursday night was the only day I had rain. It started raining around 6pm and rained part way through the night. During the Day I had sunshine and blue skies every day. The trail was hard going with a lot of elevation gain the first two days. Im glad the second and third day where the easy days otherwise I wouldn't have be-enable to finish.  My knees where killing me by day 3 and going downhill slowed to a crawl.

Preparing for the Wonderland trail

The wonderland trail is going to be a tough one. 93 Miles and 22,000 feet of elevation gain. My goal is to get the hole trail done in 4 day. I will pack supper light with no tent and only a tarp to keep us shelter at night.
