First time with the PCT as a destination. We've crossed it a zillion times, but never actually done it on purpose. Leave from the Snoqualmie parking lot (surprisingly empty for a nice day). Beautiful views of Guye Peak from the ski hill (which made us want to climb it... see our later trip report on that). Tons of rockslides, so the terrain is really cool. Very different hike for this area, as it opens up to wide-open spaces, and feels like you're crossing the Great Divide. Highly recommended.
