Stayed at Muir Trail Ranch last night in a tent cabin. Nighttime thunderstorm, so was glad I wasn\u2019t on the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


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

The start of the long slog up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbed SELDEN PASS 10,913 feet today. Even if it\u2019s 1,000 shorter than Muir Pass, it was a horrible climb. So, not many miles hiked on PCT today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reaching the top of the Pass, I descended to Marie Lake and camped there. Long day time wise, but short on mileage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
