Day 68: Castle Crags Wilderness
After a continental breakfast at the motel we started walking out of Dunsmuir hoping for a lift back to where we had left the PCT. Unfortunately no lift, so we ended up walking several miles along the highway.
It was nice to move onto the trail and into the forest.
We wound up the mountain around the impressive Castle Crags. The temperature dropped noticeably as we gained elevation.
We met several southbound hikers who assured us that the snowy sections ahead should pose no problems.
Our campsite tonight is at 6300′ on the side of the mountain with a fantastic view of the crags.
Wow, what an awesome camp site, with those views. Those Castle Crags are so interesting.
Wood- shavings picture better than any modern painting! Delightful flower details easier to see than the distant views which must be breathtaking.
Beautiful.
