First hike into the high country this season, Thursday, July 24th. Up on the PCT from White Pass to Deer Lake about 4.5 miles ROUND TRIP.
Weather was cool and a nice breez but mosquitoes were baaad. White pass in July is not the best time to enjoy the mts.
I was a little stiff from not hiking for a while, but Sunnny and I trekked up the rocky steep trail - about 700 ft. elevation gain like mountain goats- that is "older mountain goats".
I'm 75 now and still keeping my boots ready to go. In August we are planing a hike from Government Meadows on the PCT up to Louisiana Saddle, a 10 mile trek. I have been working on my pack and have my base weight (without food and water) down to 11 pounds.....
