Spider Meadow Backpacking Trip

In mid-July I drove the boys up to Boise to stay with my sister-in-law, Kari, and her family for a few days. I flew from Boise to Seattle where I went backpacking with 2 of my sisters (Stephanie & Darci), my dad, and 2 brothers-in-law (Jay & Shawn). We went to a place in the Cascades called Spider Meadow. It was about a 5 1/2 mile hike to the meadow, then we hiked another mile and set up camp. The next morning we headed up to Spider Gap for the day. It was a difficult (all uphill) hike to the Gap, but it was beautiful. During our 3 days/2 night trip we hiked a total of about 20 miles. It was so much fun and I hope I can do it again someday. (Sorry, the pictures are all out of order. I don't have time/energy to move them around).

Wow, what an amazing experience! Looks like you guys had a lot of fancy gear. I don't think I would ever think to bring head nets. :)
