I started @ Bonneville Hotsprings and climbed through the mud and muck for about 45 minutes before coming to the meadow and turns for Aldrich Butte. The PCT was gorgeous and dry. Heartbreak Ridge was slick and muddy, which wore me out by the time I got to the to...

Trail was great until about 1 mile from top when we hot 2-3 feet of snow. Non-existant due to clouds.
