Finally I was able to get back on the SHT for the first time since a Thru-Hike back in June! Felt great to be back out on trail even if the weather wasn’t cooperating. Thankfully for this trip we switched things up and stayed at the Boreal Backcountry Cabins to have an actual roof over our heads. We had a great time there and on our adventuresome day hike around LeVeaux Mountain where we went through multiple storms! The fall colors are really popping inland now on the ridges & peaks. This is the best time of year for hiking!
