Since I had stopped at Tuolumne Lodge for a zero night, I had to finish the PCT California section H this morning with a 1 mile hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hike through Tuolumne Meadows was great as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the initial hike to Glen Aulin was mostly flat. Tuolumne Falls and the White Cascades were spectacular as always. I\u2019ve passed them at least 6 times now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was a climb up from there (the old PCT saying \u2018what goes down must go up again\u2019 applies even to flat sections). Some nice meadows along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up at a campsite just beyond the McCab Lake trail junction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
