And then there was Washington. Not too long after our last post, we headed over the Bridge of the Gods and into the woods. Before leaving Oregon we were told to get ready that WA was the hardest state and so far it is living up to that statement. In the first 150 miles of trail it gained 29,000 feet and lost 24,000 feet. For those first 6 days we averaged almost 10k feet of elevation change per day while averaging 25+ miles a day.
