PCT 2018 Day 47, June 8, Friday.
Start mile 980.0, campsites after stream crossing
End mile 1005.9 at campsite
Miles walked: 25.9
First over a small granite mountain, then up and over another at 9k elevation with some snow at top.
Then for several miles the path parallels a river with steady uphill, passing by several lakes.
The day has several fords, and much water on the trail from snow melt.
All afternoon the way climbs, to snow near lakes, and we leave Yosemite.
Late in the day is some gentle downhill, to prepare for a big steady climb tomorrow. I meet no PCT hikers, and only see one other person in the afternoon, a backpacker out for a week, as we ford a stream in opposite directions at the same time.
