One step at a time

Then across Edmonds ferry to Kingston and drive to trail head (don’t stop at Quilcene Ranger station and ask any questions or worry that they will advise you not to go by yourself -- heck, I even brought my bike helmet along pretending I was going to wear that up as guidebooks advised -- because they just didn’t even care: “Oh, we only maintain the trail up to Lena Lake, we don’t know anything beyond that!”)

Start off at noon from Hamma Hamma (so nice, they had to say it twice) Road trailhead:








kinda crowded, kinda steep, but wide, well-maintained trail, and nearly everyone only going to Lena Lake campsites.

Quickly tired carrying 44 pounds in 2 backpacks (one daypack in front and Duncan’s backpack, probably a little too small for me!), but persevere...Lena Lake beautiful:
