In August 2016, we took a 12-day backpacking trip around Mt. Rainier with our 7 children (ages 14 to 1 year old), on the incredible Wonderland Trail. In 12 articles, I’ve shared the good, the bad, & the ugly. You can read our story here.
I published journal entries, pictures, & memories from our family backpacking adventure, one day at a time: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, and Day 12. I’ve collecting them all here to have in one place.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your family’s trip! I just won the lottery and am taking my own family, and am learning so much from your experience. I appreciate your candor and all the great photos!
Oh how wonderful! I’m excited for you– thanks for letting me know. What an adventure you have ahead!
