Mile 931.1 to 942.6 – 11.5 miles total hiked on PCT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I woke to some glorious color all around me. Like the sunset, the sunrise from this spot was very nice even before the sun showed itself over the mountain ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After that, I packed up my tent and headed north down towards Tuolumne Meadows. It would be all downhill today. Just a very long downhill. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Somewhere along that downhill hike, I decided I should check in at the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge to see if they had any tent cabins available for that night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off all the zero days I took in Mammoth Lakes you wouldn\u2019t think I would need any more luxury. Luxury being a real bed, real food, a shower, and a Diet Coke. Unfortunately, there was no Diet Coke to be had anywhere in Tuolumne Meadows. \ud83e\udee8Not even Pepsi! \ud83d\ude1c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made do with a Mountain Dew and was able to get a can of Pepsi at dinner. So, I\u2019ll survive. \ud83d\ude07<\/p>\n\n\n\n
