    One word to describe the day: challenging

    Caroline and I climbed the entire day and had our first snow encounter, in a handful of spots. Beautiful panoramic views all day long! We also had to navigate many down trees. Overall I am feeling good! Tired but I think that's fair!

    Tonight's campsite has an awesome view of all the mountains we just climbed up and palm springs below.

    Tomorrow we hike down the devil's slide trail (extra non pct miles) to go into Idylwild for resupply, town food and a night in a bed!
