Lake Janus and Grizzly Peak, Pear Lake — Saturday, Sep. 22, 2018

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

You schedule a work party and it doesn't matter the weather!

I took a very small work party up Smithbrook and north on the PCT towards Janus and that nasty, brushy scree field about 3 miles in that every year I have to wade through to get to my adopted section of the PCT Janus to Pear.

The trail was quite wet and Smithbrook had a few pools despite the great work my friend Dave did this summer with a few other work parties. Popular trails are a never ending battle.

We worked for several hours until we were soaked and had cheered on quite a few of the last of the thru-hikers headed to Canada.  Totally worth it!  Maybe next year I'll get a crew in to fix the eroding tread...
