Last weekend I accompanied seven good friends of the male persuasion on a backpacking trip. One of these individuals was Jim, and this event was set up as a bachelor party in his honor.
The trip involved backpacking about 12 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, north of Rainy Pass, to Upper Snowy Lake. Once we set up camp at Upper Snowy Lake and started dough for the evening's dinner (more on that later), we proceeded to scramble to the top of Golden Horn, about a mile away.

The final 20 feet or so to the summit required a fun bit of scrambling and also made for a picturesque and somewhat small summit block.

We celebrated that evening at camp with great friends, ample beer, and beautiful scenery. Jim organized a backcountry pizza feed; complete with homemade yeast dough, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and an assortment of other toppings. While this would be considered a bit non-traditional in most circles as far as bachelor parties go, it seems to be the norm with this group. I think I speak for all of us when I say how happy I am to have found such a great group of like-minded folks.
