We did a few day hikes, a few car camping situations.\u00a0 But never backcountry. As the years passed, I ventured farther out with more miles and more days in the bushes.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited about getting into the belly of the park, covering some miles and seeing some new areas. The park is one of the most diverse parks in the country consisting of high alpine traverses around picturesque glacial lakes, old growth temperate rainforests dripping with moss like you\u2019ve never seen before and beach camping along the Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 You can literally be in a different climate and view every day on the same trip. I also think it\u2019s somewhat forgotten in the very NW part of the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never done a solo hike.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited, curious, not really worried, but taking a solo trip is a different experience.\u00a0 Usually you go on a trip with your friends or family to be WITH THEM. That\u2019s the whole idea.\u00a0 With this trip, I\u2019m choosing to head out by myself and be with my thoughts with nature as my guide.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post videos and blogs for each day to document the process for what I\u2019m eating, where I am and how I\u2019m feeling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where am I goin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Olympic National Park, WA<\/li><li>Lake Quinault \u2192 Elwha River\/Madison Falls<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need permit\/reservations?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Yes.&nbsp; Reserved 1 month prior to trip<\/li><li>3 nights, 4 days<\/li><li>DAY 1 &#8211; North Fork Trailhead &#8211; Low Divide &#8211; 15.8 miles<\/li><li>DAY 2 &#8211; Low Divide &#8211; Hayes River -11.8 miles<\/li><li>DAY 3 &#8211; Hayes River &#8211; Lilian Camp &#8211; 12.9 miles<\/li><li>DAY 4&nbsp; -Lillian Camp -Elwah\/Olympic Hot Springs &#8211; 11.1 miles DONE<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When am I goin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>July 28-Aug 1<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who&#8217;s goin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Chef Corso Solo<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>pump needed.
