Day 146 – 9/15/13 -19.6 mi (2671.9)

What? We actually had to kinda hike today? But not until after sitting around the hotel lobby, mooching “for guests only” wifi until almost 9am. Ahh, it’s good to be in shape.
The hike over Swiftcurrent Pass was nice and we stopped for an early lunch at the Granite Park chalet just over the pass. It’s a beautiful cabin up in the mountains, originally built by the railroads as a part of a chalet system to attract tourists. Park employees were busy closing the cabin, shuttering the windows for winter.

In the afternoon, we traversed and climbed along a mountainside with great views the whole way. We had a great view from the camp kitchen for dinner and had some great laughs as Ninja read some memorable quotes from the hike from her journal. We are all excited to finish tomorrow, but of course it is bittersweet. We will miss each other’s company and this lifestyle.
