Norway Pass hike with Hayden

Jay Adventure!, Day Hiking, Mt Saint Helens 0 Comment

This was a quick hike with my son up to Norway Pass on the Boundary Trail in the Mt Margaret Backcountry of the Mt Saint Helens National Monument. We picked berries and he complained most of the way there but as usual, he loved it when we got to the top.

 

Near the beginning of the hike
We picked some berries but most were past prime
He didn't seem to be sure what to do with them. "Just pop them in your mouth Hayden." "All of them Dad?" "Yeah, just pop them in your mouth!"
