🥾 11 Miles. 1,500 ft Elevation. No Trail? No Problem. 💪

Over spring break, our SkillsUSA crew took on the rugged hills of Naches, WA, pushing themselves to the limit with a challenging 11-mile hike — over half of it off-trail. Think steep climbs, boulder fields, loose rock, and pure grit. 💥

The mission? Build character, learn perseverance, and see who could spot antler sheds (spoiler: we didn’t find any — maybe next time!). These students crushed it with unstoppable determination and teamwork. 🙌

Post-hike recovery? A well-earned feast at Taco Bell and Dairy Queen in Yakima 🍦🌮 and a snowy pit stop at White Pass to ice those sore ankles ❄️🧊.

This was more than a hike — it was a test of heart. And these students showed up big time.
