Mile 675.3 to 688.4 – 13.1 miles total hiked on PCT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day began with a great sunrise all around. Since that\u2019s why I wanted to camp in this area, It was a good start to the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning was pretty much a long hike along the crest of several different mountains and ridges. fortunately, most of it in shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the trail took a sharp turn west, I had to pull out and use my umbrella to keep the midmorning sun from boiling my brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At chimney Creek, my hopes for some trail magic was dashed. The couple that provided trail magic at Kelso valley road said they might relocate to the chimney Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh well, I\u2019m only one night away from Kenedy Meadows. Two nights at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a lunch break there made sure I had enough water and then headed up to Fox Mill Spring. More water awaited me there. I camped near the spring last time, but during the time of day I intend to go up at least a couple miles further. All desert after that, so \ufffcnot much shade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up climbing the whole 4 miles to the High Point before I found a good camping spot. Ah well, less miles to do the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also got my first view of Mt Whitney for this trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
