August 1 to August 5, 2023 Obsidian Falls 55 miles 8,000 feet gained 4 nights
Clockwise from Obsidian Trailhead. We were dubbed, "The Produce Section" by PCT thru hikers because of all the fresh produce we brought for them. We were three 60+ women making our way around The Three Sisters. Mosquitos and flies were bad on the west side and there was SO MUCH blow down on the east side. Our nights were beautiful and we had a great trip.
