I actually did this section southbound for the views and easy exit to my trail angel. Only 9 miles so I slack packed and only carried minimal gear.
Because Cindy needed to pick up others and had to work, I didn’t start hiking till almost 11. Every north bounder, including the Codgers, were already done with that 9 miles before I started
Eventually will go this way.
Gotta love a train
,
1.5 mile road walk then a series of switchbacks straight up. Not to hot or windy, or steep, so it should be easy.
Love the PCT signs . I’m not lost!
Using spare hat and new glasses. Not sure where the old hat is.
Back there is highway 58 where I started
See
Close to the top of the switchbacks.
Signs at the end
And this section is done. About 125 miles over 10 days with 2 much needed rest days. Will now take a couple weeks off, and then tackle Walkers Pass and maybe Kennedy Meadows south
I have about 150 miles of the desert section still to go.
