What a great experience with my guide Anna hiking through WA's rainforest. I hadn't experienced such rainforest before, so the huge trees and nursing logs were a great and novel sight. The weather was unexpectedly good (I was prepared for the Twilight weather), which also enhanced the experience. I saw a lot of wildlife, including a friendly black beard eating and being annoyed by the people. The view of Blue Glacier was spectacular - the glacier looked like an ice cream in a bowl. Definitely recommend the hike: you will be taken care of by the guide, receive valuable knowledge about the rainforest's ecosystem and will be especially well-fed ;). Would not say that the hike was particularly strenuous, but probably some hiking and backpacking experience would be helpful.

My friend and I did the 5 day/4 night Hoh Rainforest to Blue Glacier trip in late July and had a great time. I hadn't done any serious backpacking in 7 years and felt a little rusty on some of my skills, so probably wouldn't have attempted something like this on my own. It's so great that Lasting Adventures exists to help folks get out there! This trail was incredible - just absolutely stunning the whole way through. I'm so grateful to Hannah, our guide, for her knowledge and encouragement. Communication was great leading up to the trip. I felt well-informed and prepared. The gear I borrowed from them was good and the meals were great!
