Goal for the day: Get as far up the trail as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 11 started well, with some nice color from the sunrise as I ate breakfast and packed up my gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There wasn’t a particular goal I had in mind for this day, just to get as far up the trail as possible. Hopefully, after starting the climb up from the other side of the canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I started down further into the canyon, I saw a good camping area after about a half mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I continued down along the East Fork of the Carson River until I reached the part where the trail climbed up a steep ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t a difficult climb, but seemed to take forever. After reaching the top, I reached the last likely water for about 5 miles and filled up. The campsite near the creek wasn’t that attractive, so I continued along the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, I found a nice campsite a little off the trail. It didn’t have much of a view, but was nice over all. It ended up being a short day mile-wise, but a long day time-wise. I was a little worried, but sometimes you start treks off slowly (especially with a full pack).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner, I settled in for a nice sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
