Hi friends,
I’m seriously considering doing a long section hike of the Pacific Northwest Trail this summer, doing the standard E->W direction from Glacier. I’m just wondering if anyone here has done the trail and can offer first-hand advice or tips.
Context: I’m 50 years old, in OK shape, and my backpacking style is “mostly lightweight”. I’m located in Western Washington and have done lots of overnights/long weekends in the Cascades and Olympics. Also done most of the PCT from the Oregon border south to (almost) Crater Lake.
Any knowledge would be gratefully received.

She had a heck of a time making sure she was heading in the right direction apparently. IÂ didn’t even realize I was on a trail that was part of the PNT. I’m sure this will vary from person to person though.
