PNT

I was bored at work and decided I'd like to go on a hike for my weekend. I was looking around at the different hikes I usually go on in the Mountain Loop Highway and they're all pretty much closed or inaccessible or they're covered in snow (ew). So I thought I'd switch my direction and see about hiking out on Chuckanut Drive. I've never hiked there and wanted to check out the Oyster Dome. While perusing the Washington Trail Association website, I stumbled across a name: Pacific Northwest Trail.

Huh.

I've heard of the Pacific Crest Trail (obviously, since this blog is dedicated to it) but this is a new one. Further research reveals the PNT is a 1,200 mile system which runs from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Dived. Sweet! Maybe I'll hike a bit of it as preparations for the PCT get nearer? A bit more of an investigation is surely a must!
