The last part of the detour had us bushwacking through the forest following pink flags. We finally arrived back on the PCT at mile 2065. It felt good to be back on trail. Road walking is hard on the feet. There were helicopters flying around most of the day getting water to fight the fire. We were told there were 600 firefighters working on this fire and it was only 5% contained. It was a great day for hiking. We had cool temperatures and good trail. We were also treated to our first good view of Mt Hood. Yay! We passed lake Timothy, which is a large lake with good camping. We kept hiking though as it was to early to stop. Then there was little crater lake. It's a small lake with water so clear you can see way down to the bottom. It's also 35 degrees. Cold water. I treated it anyway! I'm really looking forward to getting to Timberline Lodge tomorrow at Mt Hood.
