On Teen Treks, at the end of each day, our groups talk together about what went well that day, what could have been better, their goals for the next day or for the whole trip, and so on, and they give props to each other for helping make the trip fantastic. Maybe someone did something really silly that cracked everyone up at lunch; maybe someone found a great spot to swim or hike; maybe someone helped a fellow Trekker fix a flat tire and get back on the road. Leader David made a video looking at the whole Pacific Northwest Trek through that frame -- and you have to watch it, all the way to the end. This is exactly what Teen Treks is all about!

Pacific Northwest Trek: "Best of" Video
On Teen Treks, at the end of each day, our groups talk together about what went well that day, what could have been better, their goals for the next day or for the whole trip, and so on, and they give props to each other for helping make the trip fantastic.

Pacific Northwest Trek Asks, What Do Trekkers Think About?
Leader David asked the Pacific Northwest Trekkers what they think about when they're biking. As the video shows, there are as many answers to that question as there are Trekkers riding bikes! Everyone's personalities really shine in this piece -- give it a watch!

Pacific Northwest Trek Climbs Mount Constitution
Our Pacific Northwest Trekkers had a big day -- or at least some big hills -- and they really rose to it! Here's how Dan described day 5:
Break Day! After biking 25 miles yesterday, with the MOST ANNOYING HILL, we made it to Moran State Park on Orcus Island (part of the San Juan Islands), surprisingly in one piece. After setting up tents and eating delicious sloppy joes and brownies, we sat around the campfire and told stories of our childhoods: gerbils in RC cars, purposely lighting hair on fire, and accidentally calling 911 on a fake firefly cell phone.
More from Dan:
Today, we woke up late, and the guys made the most delicious breakfast we've had: eggs and bacon! Then, we biked up to a hiking trail (on a somewhat less annoying, but still pretty annoying, hill). We hiked up this steep mountain to get to the summit. There, we ate lunch, climbed up a castle tower, and enjoyed a wonderful scenic view that included Mt. Baker.
In addition to sloppy joes, our Pacific Northwest Trekkers got to enjoy another campfire classic, s'mores:
Tomorrow, they'll be crossing into Canada, making their trek officially an international adventure!
