In August 2016, we took a 12-day backpacking trip around Mt. Rainier with our 7 children (ages 14 to 1 year old), on the incredible Wonderland Trail. In 12 articles, I’ve shared the good, the bad, & the ugly. You can read our story here.
I published journal entries, pictures, & memories from our family backpacking adventure, one day at a time: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, and Day 12. I’ve collecting them all here to have in one place.
You can click on the links above, or directly on these photos, to pull up each day of our journey:
