PCT Section I, Sonora Pass to Tuolumne Meadows, 24th to 27th August 2006
Running from Mexico to Canada, the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is
divided into sections, some up to 200 miles long. The most well known section runs from Tuolumne Meadows
south to Kennedy Meadows, coinciding for the most part with the John Muir Trail
(JMT). My
adventure would be to the north, on PCT section I, which runs 77 miles
from Sonora Pass to Tuolumne Meadows. My plan was to complete that
stretch in 3 days and then spend a fourth day cruising 22 miles, mostly
downhill, to Yosemite Valley where I would catch a bus/train home.
To appreciate my trials and tribulations you may want to have the
profile pdf open as you read. If I was smarter I would have
created the profile before the trip.

together for about 30 minutes before a tearful goodbye, at least
for one of us. |
