10.5 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
The day started out very hazy with low visibility from fires but cleared as the day progressed. We hiked the PCT around most of Mt. McLoughlin but had no views :(. Met 2 through hikers, Dazzle and Magellan, who talked about all the wildfire issues in California. Beautiful wilderness but it's a wildfire waiting to happen with the huge (and I mean huge) amount of dry wood under the canopy!
