There are not many places as special as this.
We arrived at the trailhead in the morning, after a long ride up a rugged backcountry road. From there, it took us 3 hours to arrive at Monashee Lake. We had never been here before, but had heard plenty of stories, none of which do the place justice. I have never felt so alive and energetic as I did during this hike.
No more than a Hundred or so people visit this place in a year., which means it is absolutely Un-Touched. Completely pristine wilderness, it's heaven here on earth. A Mountain Paradise.
What we saw last summer was just a teaser. The tip of the iceberg. There is so much more to see, and this summer, we will see it all.
One Week. Four Lakes. FIVE Mountains. We plan on hiking from Monashee Lake to Twin Lakes, known locally as the Mark Berger Traverse. During Our trip, we will scale five mountains. The North Pinnacle, Sunshine Mountain, Boulder Mountain, Lakeview Mountain, and the crown of them all, Mount Severivde.
It will be a week of Adventure. A Week of discovery. A Week of serenity. One week of COMPLETE escape from society.
This
July, we will live off the land. We will have an epic journey back to nature.
We will have the time of our lives.
Arrival. Not many words can describe the feeling you get when you discover
a place like this. The air is fresh. The Sun is warm. The energy is Incredable.
The
Tall peak in the background is the North Pinnacle. It stands at 2500 Meters.
Mike and I Stood on top.

The full lake in all its beautiful glory. Taken on the way up to the peak.

There is NOTHING like being this high in the mountains. Being this far away from civilization. Being this far away from anything. Being This FREE!
---
At the top of the Monashee Mountains. Over 2500 Meters High. After 8 Hours. I stand On Top Of The North Pinnacle. Unfourtunatly, I never got many pictures, as The hour was late, and I needed to take my time getting down safe.
We'll get PLENTY more pictures this summer.
