Start hitch from Pinedale to Elkhart Trailhead, hike about 14 miles on Elkhart Trail and Seneca Lake Trail until 14-154WT, mile 1824.9
End 14-173WT Fremont Crossinge mile 1826.6
Checking out of the motel at 9:30, I walked over to Fremont Drive and gat a hitch in seconds. We stopped at Fremont Lake Overlook on our way up.
On the trail at 10, rain started within 20 minutes. Will it rain all day, or all day and all night?
I met at least two dozen backpackers. A couple recognized me from two days ago when we were both going in different directions..
At 4 §enecaeLake appeared.
Afterwards the trail goes over a pass, and we see some extremely rugged rocks on an alternate trail.
Fremont Crossing comes into view. I sure hope for a bridge.
Yes, a bridge!
Rain starts hard just after the tent goes up. We are over 10k, so expect a cold night.
