After a pleasant night and nice Sunrise, I continued North again.

I paused briefly at Highway 17, but since I was already resupplied by my early Zero Days in Big Bear Lake, I just continued across the highway.

After the highway, the trail curved around the North side of the lake and ran across a long ridge.

It was mostly forest, so I didn’t get much of a view of the lake or area along the way.

At a water refilling spot, I was passed by a number of bikes. Normally, bikes aren’t allowed on the PCT, so I wasn’t sure if they were there legally or not.

I ended up camping at a flat clearing

Mile 264.9 to 276.7 – 11.8 miles total hiked on the PCT
