Seven Lakes Basin Hike - Day 1

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3


At the trailhead. Note the rain gear.


It was raining enough for hoods and hats at the start.


Sol Duc falls.


Boys staring into the awe inspiring chasm of Sol Duc falls.


Beyond the falls and into the deep forest. No more tourist hikers.


The trail passed regularly from clearings to thick stands of trees.


The boys, happy to be at our first camp near the footbridge across Bridge Creek. The creek was close enough to lull us to sleep at night. Filling up on water was easy too.


A waterfall at Bridge Creek.


Relaxing at camp. Rob near the tents.


The boys around the fire pit. Alas a fire ban was in effect so we were forced to drink Grand Marnier and smoke cigars in the late evening darkness.


Rob and his oldest son Dan in a male bonding moment.
