On Monday morning I finally got my package at the Chevron. I decided to take the alternative trail that passes Goldmeyer hot springs. The detour passed the gorgeous Snow lake, after which there was a short but tough section of downhill trail that was not well maintained. After that the trail was good again. I spent the evening soaking in awesome the hot springs!
After spending another hour in the hot springs the next morning I started out. The climb out of the valley followed the Snoqaulmie river. As you climb you first walk through deep lush forest, then beautiful meadows and woodland and alpine surroundings. After the final ridge you get a view of a gorgeous lake below you. I camped at Walupt lake that night and while packing up the next morning I had a brief visit from a curious bear. It was about to walk into my campsite but it ran off quickly after seeing me.
The rest of the walk into Stevens Pass was tough but beautiful.
