Yellow Blaze Transit

Yellow Blaze Transit is going out of business! Thanks to the Methow community, to our riders and our followers.
The van made one last big trip from Portland to Anchorage, handling snow and ice with grace!

Congrats Sanjeev Karki AKA Evertree on his PCT hike. He is the founder and trail ambassador for his 501(c)(3) charity, 8848 Trees, which empowers women through reforestation projects in his native Nepal 🇳🇵Check it out at 8848trees.org. Hikers like Sanjeev make all the long days on the road worth it.

Plenty of smiles after finishing the PCT…or maybe just happy to be out of the van and off to eat Chinese food?

Today’s hike at Cutthroat Pass, PCT mile 2597, 6839’. I congratulated a NOBO thruhiker, but he said, “Don’t say that yet, I have over 50 miles to get myself eaten by a bear.”

Crossed the Bridge of the Gods after PCT Days; heading with determination into the fall NOBO sprint

Highway 20 reopened to clear skies! Looking forward to seeing all the Nobos arriving here soon.

Two encouraging signs: Rain, and an “OPEN” sign in Mazama. Here’s to hoping things change for the better

Enjoying the aerial show as firefighters work to control the blazes near Mazama. SR20 is going into full closure tomorrow at 10am, but we were lucky enough to get through after a 30 minute delay. Planning on still serving Seattle (via Snoqualmie Pass) if the situation doesn’t improve

Hikers from 12 states, 2 provinces, three countries in eleven days. Like the temperature, things are heating up for a successful season.

Stopped off at Diablo Lake overlook on the way to Seattle. First time driving alone in the van, took advantage by rocking out to my favorite grunge bands🤘

Tomorrow’s the big day - maiden voyage to Seattle and back! Best wishes to the four PCTers who are braving the snow. The van leaves the at 8am for Mazama and Seattle.

Took a break from last-minute business preparations to ride my Ebike up the Hart’s Pass road. Battery died a mile before the top, and the rain started falling! Enjoyed the harrowing and teeth-rattling cruise to the bottom

Thank you Pacific Crest Trail Association! Excited to be a part o the PCT experience this year and in the years to come

There's a new shuttle service in Washington for long-distance PCT hikers! Yellow Blaze Transit, a PCTA partner, offers shuttle bus transit between Seattle, Mazama, and Winthrop—bridging the distance between Seattle, the North Cascades, and the Methow Valley. Check out their website below for more information—including how you can get to Hart's Pass. https://www.yellowblazetransit.com/

A map for when they put a bullet train from Winthrop to Seattle. Until then, I think I’ll do good business! Heading up to the Methow in less than two weeks.

Beautiful day on the road.

Check out Yellow Blaze Transit on PCT Southbound, the definitive SOBO guide. Thanks for the shout out!

Yellow Blaze Transit picks up right by the train station, bus stop, and light rail, and just a 35 minute direct light rail trip from the airport. https://goo.gl/maps/J6borqrffnvYos1Z6
Contrast this with a 3+ connection, 3.5 to 5+ hour public transit trek up to Sedro-Woolley
