What can I say about today? I started off hiking with a section hiker. He's a teacher and has been spending his summers on the PCT for years. I enjoyed his company. Then later I met another section hiker and a thru hiker. I felt a new sense of trail maturity and relaxation about the day as I hiked. The trail entered the Trinity Alps Wilderness in the Klamath National Forest today. It has lived up to its reputation of stunning scenery. I saw some snow on distant peaks, rust colored rocky hillsides, green hillsides, meadows, wildflowers, and panoramic vistas. It's a great section. I'm camped now near Hwy 93 where there is trailhead parking. It's a nice spot, flat, shaded, and away from the parking lot. Two adults and a child rode by on horseback. They gave me a bottle of gatorade which was perfect. I was thirsty and my water is rationed for breakfast tomorrow and the 5 mile stretch to the next water.
