Well, the sky cleared and there was no rain overnight. We crossed a bridge over a river which divided Kings Canyon National Park from the John Muir Wilderness and immediately noticed a difference in the vegetation as we moved from more sparse alpine vegetation to a hill covered with pine forest and more dense undergrowth. The trail took us up this hill, then another beside a lake, then another and on up and around until we reached the top of Selden Pass. On the other side we looked down on a large lake made of smaller lakes all linked.

In the afternoon clouds collected and the sky darkened. It proceeded to rain and thunder through the afternoon as we crested another hill and descended to our campground beside a river.

We have passed the 500 miles to go mark today and hiked 22.9 miles.
