In this episode, we guide you through the entire 18‑mile High Divide / Seven Lakes Basin Loop with the signature Blisterpop blend of warm authority, mythic storytelling, and practical clarity.You’ll move from the moss-draped quiet of the Sol Duc Valley to the wide-open ridge above Seven Lakes Basin, where Mount Olympus and the Blue Glacier rise across the valley like a world apart. Along the way, we break down logistics, risks, pacing, weather windows, and the emotional architecture of the day — giving you the confidence to take on one of the most beautiful and balanced routes in the US21.If you’re the kind of person who seeks meaning, chooses effort over ease, and wants a story worth telling, the Olympic Pop is waiting. Off you pop.www.blisterpopadventures.comSupport the show
