Skykomish Washington 180 miles to go

We have just completed section J in Washington.  Two more Sections to go!  This section was full of alternate routes.  We spent more time on the alternates than on the trail.  The first Alternate was a short cut to the Goldmyer Hot Springs.  The trails in the Snoqualmie National Forest were universally bad in the backcountry.  We hiked on a hiker highway out of Snoqualmie Pass to Snow Lake.  After the lake we crashed down 2000 feet of weed covered rocky switchbacks.  It was some of the hardest hiking we've done.
