Mailbox Peak {Wanderlust}

Within four days we traveled from a small 6 car ferry on the sea to the summit of one of the most popular hikes in our area, Mailbox peak. While this is considered one of the most popular hikes in the I-90 corridor, we had it completely to ourselves. Waking up early before first light to get there, starting before we felt completely human, had it's payoff  at the top. One of the first snows started just as we hit a clearing, high winds and icy stinging on cheeks was shockingly, a pleasant welcome to the summit. We climbed up and down the old route and could both feel it in our bones the next day since this was our first hike since Guye Peak. Worth every ounce of soreness.
