Day 51 - zero day at Lone Pine
14 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
Part of the fun with this hike is being able to drop in on different towns along the way. Lone Pine is a pretty small town located in the valley by Mt Whitney. I completed all the normal town tasksЧитать далее
Day 52 - back on the trail
15 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
A resupply story:
In the desert, this was a pretty straightforward thing. The trail would intersect a road. You would then stick out your thumb and hitch a ride to the nearest town.
In the Sierras,Читать далее
Day 53 - mile 809 Glen and Pichot Passes
16 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 48 °F
I haven't done a very good job of taking notes after each day of hiking. Hiking in the Sierras is challenging and we ended up hiking longer hours than usual. What little time was left at the end ofЧитать далее
Day 54 - mile 832 Mather Pass
17 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F
Today was Mather pass (11,588 ft). Amazing views from the top and all day for that matter. We saw quite a few deer in the evening. They were very unafraid and came right into our campsite. AnotherЧитать далее
Day 55 - mile 851. Muir Pass
18 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F
The terrain this morning was stunning. I keep saying that each day, but this morning, I was really taken in with the beauty of the mountains, waterfalls, trees, and deer along the trail.
Muir passЧитать далее
Day 56 - mile 876 Seldon pass
20 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
Another day, another mountain pass along with amazing views at every turn. Today was Seldon pass (10,913 ft). This was the easiest pass so far, mostly because there wasn't much snow on eitherЧитать далее
Day 57 - mile 880. Vermilion Valley Ranc
20 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
The trail passes pretty close to a remote 'resort'. It sounded too good to pass by so we decided to take a bit of a detour. To get there, we got up early and started hiking at 5:30am, in order to notЧитать далее
Day 58 - mile 897 Silver pass
21 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 45 °F
Today, we took the first ferry out of VVR. That was a fun detour, but we were ready to get back on the trail.
The next mountain pass to conquer was Silver pass (10,778 ft). The passes have beenЧитать далее
Day 59 - mile 904 Mammoth Lakes
22 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 34 °F
Brrrr, we woke up to temperatures in the teens. This was the coldest day so far on the PCT, and apparently, it is fairly unusual to have this cold of weather in June.
Today is town day. We hikedЧитать далее
Day 60 - zero day
22 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F
Zero days are great after a tough week of hiking. Mammoth lakes is a fun location with lots of tourists and hikers everywhere. Public transportation is free, so it is easy to get around the town. IЧитать далее
Day 61 - mile 924
24 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
I'm back on the trail again after a needed break. There was a bit of a hiccup when we found a road was closed that caused us to walk a bit further in order to get back on the PCT, but we made it. WeЧитать далее
Day 62 - mile 937. Donohoue pass
25 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
It was a pretty chilly morning when we woke up this morning (below freezing). There was quite a bit of frost and condensation on the tents. Our sleeping bags were also a bit wet where they touched theЧитать далее
Day 63 - mile 944 Yosemite
26 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Woke up with temperatures below freezing again this morning. That has been more of the norm since we have been in the Sierras.
The PCT passes through the east side of Yosemite national park. WeЧитать далее
Day 64 - End of an amazing adventure
27 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
This may seem like an abrupt end to this fantastic voyage; however, the injury to my left foot over a week ago has been getting progressively worse even with my efforts to pamper it as best I could.Читать далее
