Solo Backpacking PACIFIC CREST TRAIL | Josephine Lake | HENRY JACKSON WILDERNESS | Stevens Pass

This was my first ever solo backpacking experience and it took place in the beautiful Central Cascades of Washington State. I was looking for a great one or two night backpacking experience at an alpine lake, and Josephine Lake was the perfect spot. The trailhead starts at Stevens Pass near Leavenworth and heads south on the Pacific Crest Trail. Eventually I left the PCT for the Icicle Creek Trail that ended up leading to some great campsites along the backside of Josephine Lake.   / mikeswanders   My Backpacking Gear: My GoPro: https://amzn.to/46WIlQB My Backpack: https://amzn.to/43Ldljr My Hiking Boots: https://amzn.to/3Ou2AOq My Sleeping Pad: https://amzn.to/43A85zn Hand-Pump Water Filter: https://amzn.to/3DvnOoJ Gravity System Water Filter: https://amzn.to/43zWoIU Water Bottle: https://amzn.to/3rCreDf Collapsible Water Bottle: https://amzn.to/3QbkQgx Cook System/Jet Boil: https://amzn.to/47gxsJF Backpacking Meals: https://amzn.to/3KbvL66 Water Shoes/Keens: https://amzn.to/43I0bnv Collapsible Dry Bags: https://amzn.to/3Y4jgio Head Lamp: https://amzn.to/3Osa9Fb GPS Navigator: https://amzn.to/3q3qfM1 Portable Phone Charger: https://amzn.to/3Y9H70q Music exclusively by: https://slip.stream
