I needed a bit more rest this morning with my cold so we only started at 7.15. But then it took us almost 45 minutes to get back on the trail from our campspot on the lake. A trail marked on the map turned out to be a lot of bushwacking…
The day begun with 2,000ft down before we had to go 2,500ft up again and the down and up again. The scenery though was great. The Alpine Lakes are beautiful. Alpine.
It was chilly today. Even though the sun was out it never became really warm. And both of us were exhausted. After 15 miles we both felt like usually after 25+. Either it’s because I am not 100% fit or my body already went into after-trail-mode due to the three days in Seattle… 😂 Not yet my friend!
Stunning clouds this afternoon!
And at the end we really had to hurry. Either 29 miles tomorrow to get to town or getting to a camp spot in the dark. We opted for last. But man, it immediately got freezing after sunset and we pitched the tent, cooked and ate in the dark. Fall is coming…
