Green Tunnel Vision

PCT 2018 Day 92, July 23, Monday

Start mile 2166.5, flat corner at switchback

End mile 2196.5, corner at switchback

Miles walked: 30.0

The trail is shaded in trees nearly all day today, with views of more ridges completely covered in trees. The only exception is the view of Mount Adams in the distance.

Towards the end of the day the path goes along a lava flow, with collapsed layers often creating caves.

And also, I see regulations posted about mushrooms, which I do not remember seeing in other forests.

I am starting to notice the shorter days, making it harder to complete my daily thirty. Best to finish soon…
