We're travelling to the Goat Rocks Wilderness this weekend. It's our first backpacking trip together. I've been backpacking in groups and alone before but I've been on a ~4 year hiatus from it, choosing instead to car camp and take daytrips around California, Oregon and Washington.
Pre-trip .gpx file.The plan is to leave on Friday night and car camp somewhere nearby. In the morning we'll park at the trailhead and ditch the car, moving on foot to the campsite and setting up camp for Saturday night. I'm expecting Saturday to involve the majority of the ascent and Sunday morning the majority of the descent.
