Back on the PCT!

To get back to the PCT, we were taking Goodale Pass, since it completes the detour, dropping us just after Silver Creek. Annoyingly, that means we climb from like 7,000 feet, up over 11,000 feet, and rejoining at 10,540 feet. Oh well.

Forest walks are still novel to me again.Forest walks are still novel to me again.

Eventually, we got back to the PCT! It felt good to be back where we were supposed to be.

The snow was soft by the time we did the merge, so we called it a day and set up camp in some dirt we found under a couple of trees.

It's good to be home.
