edpaffjr.comOver the weekend Kim and I participated in a hut trip hike. If you recall from last year, I went on a similar trip and loved every minute of it. This time our group of 14 hiked up to the Section House up on Boreas Pass. This year’s trip was much easier than last, even if we wouldn’t have gotten lost last year. This year the trailhead was at 10,350′ compared to 8,620 last year. And the hut was at 11,481′ this year and 11,180 last. So you can tell by the elevation gain that it was a slightly uphill hike, but not very strenuous. In fact, the route we took was along a gravel road that is open in the warmer months, and it used to be a railroad, so the grade is very low. Despite that, the hike still managed to deliver blisters and sore bones. I guess this will always happen after hiking six and a half miles. We had a great time though, and look forward to possibly taking a trip to a hut in the summer.
