Quartz Mt. Fire Lookout

 We tried our first backpack trip, kinda. We hiked 2.5 miles into the Fire Lookout on top of Quartz Mt. by Mt. Spokane. It was kinda a backpacking adventure because we had to pack in food, sleeping bag and clothes but not water or a tent. Jack and Jacob did a great job packing everything in. Amelia did not, she cried almost the whole way in.
Once we got the Lookout it was good. We played cards, kids played on the rocks surrounding the lookout and we went for another hike (without packs).
I would say the boys are ready for backpacking. Maybe in a year or so Amelia will be ready too.
