Brendan hiking the WONRT on his first ever backpacking trip!

Jody and others climb to the last knob on our ridge walk. The summit of Lookout Mountain is behind them.

Keli checks out the suspension bridge across the hard-flowing North River. Sorry, we won't be using it on this trip!

The first of 8 fords of North River. There will be no rock hopping today.
