- Backpacking The Wonderland Trail | Mount Rainier 2021 | Nickel Creek to Indian Bar - Day 8 // With the cold and wet weather, none of us were in a hurry to leave the Nickel Creek tentsite in the morning. Today would be less than 7 miles to our next tentsite, Indian Bar. We were prepared for the rain, but instead got a lot of fog, which made for moody meadows in this section of trail. Even with the fog, we knew we were about to enter a very special place along the Wonderland Trail.
Total Mileage: 6.7 miles
Total Ascent: 3,037.7 feet
Total Descent: 1,318.2 feet

Omfg that MOOD!! 😍😍😍
Yup!! Loved it even though it wasn’t ideal.
The waterfall was beautiful
There were so many incredible waterfalls along this trail.
Great work as always 👏🏼...keep up the good work 💪 I could watch this all day and night
Thank you!
There's really nothing more awesome than rounding a corner into a meadow with lots of wildflowers. Thanks for the video. It's 100 degrees where I am at today. Nice to see moisture. Good stuff.
I completely agree. I loved the moody meadows in this section. Also, isn't this how scary movies start? Hahahaha!
Just found your channel and oh boy, am I loving it.
I really appreciate the information you’ve given, specifically the tips on food and planning. I have very limited hiking experience, other than watching and reading about others doing it, and I hope to make the Wonderland my first thru hike. It sounds pretty arduous if you don’t prepare and your channel certainly has given me a lot more confidence in tackling it in the next year or two.
Thanks for the great work!
Thanks for watching!
That toilet reminds me of Rick and Morty 😂 Love seeing these videos! Something to aspire to!
That view though! 😍
A once in a lifetime hike!
It absolutely was. I had the best trail family to make this one of my all-time favorite trips in the backcountry too.
it looks like the mosquitos love you
OMG!! They had a heyday with me this season.
@@TheHungryHiker must be because your are so sweet
Nice Vlog again and oh boy your leggs will be glad when they get home :)
I don't know. My legs might be happy, but my mind and soul wanted to stay out there...forever!!
Nothing was quite like watching the clouds lift out of Indian Bar that night! I literally just set that as my background on my work computer. I can’t believe I thought Raquel said “I’m good now that I’m done with the heavy lifting” as I passed her at the bear pole. When in reality she said “I’m good now that the clouds have lifted.”
Wasn’t that awesome to watch? The Wonderland Retirement Community was already in their tents for the night while Raquel and I watched the fog lift. We got so excited once we could finally see the ridge line above our tentsite. It was so cool and happened right as the sun went down. 😊
The Wonderland Retirement Community! Ha!
Yup! They were both in their tent well before sunset every single night. Hahahaha!
