Day 6: March 30, 2023
AZT mile 65.5 to 85.1
Hiked today: 19.6 miles \/ 31.5 km
AZT ascents today: 974m , descents: 685m
AZT hiked to date: 10.6%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the morning trail was hard – starting off on a rocky dirt road, we climbed steeply for nearly 5 miles and then, thankfully, branched off onto regular trail again. The relief was short lived as the trail itself continued in a steep climb <\/strong>up to the saddle of Mt Wrightson. Onwards then was mostly downhill and we found a nice spot near a flowing creek for lunch. It would have been great if not for the blasting cold wind which has followed us most of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met a number of other hikers today – one group of 3 – Peaches, Geo and Hot Rod – who we leap frogged passing each other for most of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also met Reset who we previously met at Patagonia campsite and who, as I write this, has just hiked in to pitch his tent near where we are camped for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
