Overnight after work because we could. It was gorgeous and makes us forget about the rainy weather we have had for so long.

Over nighter with friends that I've backpacked with before, but separately. Cowboy, our pup, joined us and was a great hiker. We passed out cherry tomatoes and blueberries to thru PCT hikers. Lots of Timberline Trail peeps.

So many mosquitoes from Sisters Mirror Lake, we ate in the tent which is a big no no. From there on, beautiful days and many snow fields to cross. Handed out fresh fruit & veggies to PCT thru hikers who were mainly from Europe.

Summer like conditions. We switched to our summer bags and my summer backpack & stove and it was divine! Cowboy found a ball (we had two in his pack) and he played a lot on the snow. Drawback was that he was tuckered out hiking up to 8400' today, but loves the snow.

Mogul-like patchy snow after A-Frame, then solid once you exit the trees all the way to the shelter. Windy, cold night ~~ dog's water was frozen in the morning.

Tried going up the Timberline trail, but it was pretty snow covered with the hills of snow on a cliff side so we turned around.
