Day 15 – Sonora Pass (Hwy 108)
Travis is not doing well.
It’s the heat, the neverending sunshine that leads to blistering hot days climbing up and down these mountains. I can’t remember the last time I even saw a cloud. It’s slowly wearing me down and making me wonder why I’m out here when every day is miserable 😞
I still have 3-ish more days until Lake Tahoe, so I’ll use that time to decide what (if anything) I want to do about this.
Sonora Pass is generally considered the end of the Sierras, and even though it was unbearably hot, the Sierras are still gorgeous, so enjoy these last shots from them:
Wow, Travis, on the one hand, beautiful pictures, on the other, so sorry things aren’t going so well. Are you able to get weather forecasts often? Anyway, the group misses you and Chunky is looking mighty forlorn lately.
Tell Chunky to hang in there, I’ll be back before he knows it!!
Do you remember a lot of it from your previous time hiking the PCT? Looks stunning…..sorry about the heat. In Italy I absolute abhorred the heat. Made me very thankful for my nice cool mountain life
Some of it is very familiar, I’ll be hiking and think “oh yeah, I remember this place”, but most of it has been long enough that it feels new again
