Although it didn’t rain overnight, when we woke we found that we were immersed in cloud which turned to misty rain as we hiked. Around 3-4 hours later the cloud lifted and we were able to catch views of Mt Lassen with some snow at the top.<\/p>\n

As the path was good, not too steep or rocky, we planned to hike a good distance while the weather held up. We passed a couple of south bound hikers and learned from a German girl that the lodge at Lassen National Park was open and hiker-friendly so we now hope to go there at least for a hot meal tomorrow.<\/p>\n

We hiked 26.9 miles today. Tomorrow we have about 15 miles to get to the Drakesbad Lodge and the following day a big 27 miles to finish. Both days have rain \/ snow forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
