Road Trip Up North Calls for a Backpacking Tent |

A friend and myself have been planning a road trip from California up into the mountains of the Pacific Northwest for a long time. Many months of it just seemed like talk but now it looks to be happening after he buys a new truck. With that truck, we will quickly cover the 1,200 miles north right up into the majestic pines of this part of the country. I grew up in this area and have the perfect spot to pitch a backpacking tent. A trail begins on the base of a mountain near the Cascades that run through Washington. From there it traverses back and forth until reaching the top where there is a glacier lake. Even in the summer, snow is on the upper edges of the ridgeline.
Apart from being beautiful this area is a very hard place to get to without some serious time. That’s why I want to buy a backpacking tent online so we could camp on the foot of this lake after a strenuous hike up. A Eureka tent would be nice. The weather should be beautiful there in May too. I can’t wait.
