To prepare for the 50-miler scheduled for this summer, BSA unit 525 did an overnight backpacking trip to Lake Valhalla in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. This is a beautiful setting that didn't really show us its best side. The weather remained overcast, foggy, and drizzly the entire time we were there. Unfortunately, we were also beat out of the best campsites, so we had to settle for less enjoyable accommodations. You can see exactly what I mean by taking a look at the photo album here.
