7 years ago, the view south from Forester Pass (4009 m), highest point on the PCT.

Yes, that’s a lot of snow. Yes, it was tough. And dangerous I suppose.

2nd day: Starting off fighting snow, heading north on the PCT as the trail eventually gets to a ridge line walk. We headed up, appropriately, Big Ridge for the day's destination, then returned to Paradise Lake.

The Pacific Crest Trail was looking a lot easier to travel as we left than when we passed the day before.

I finished up another set of backpacking posts, but am busy so might not get to advertising them before wandering off to more adventure.

The 3rd and last day backpacking around Mount Eddy, we explored the local area a little more before hiking out via the Pacific Crest Trail, the more common route. I liked Deadfall Lake Trail better.

The 2nd day backpacking around Mount Eddy, we headed up to the top of Mount Eddy itself, then wandered the trails south toward Toad Lake before returning north to our camp.

The third and last day backpacking near Seiad on the Pacific Crest Trail had a bit more ridge view, some search for a different short way down, then a long route around passing a pair of waterfalls.

The second day backpacking, there was much ridge views and even a peak to bag (Rattlesnake Mountain) along both the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Boundary National Recreation Trail.

Back in California (barely) with a three day backpacking trip flirting with the edge of Red Buttes Wilderness. High ridge views and a little snow. First, the tough climb up West Fork Seiad Creek to camp among pools with springs in the bottoms.
