Today was pretty uneventful. I got a bit of a planned late start after spending the night in Idyllwild. The miles today were a bit shorter than average, but it wasn’t necessarily easy. However, it probably was the easiest hiking of the first 10 days. The next three days are going to be long and hard.

For all the Southern California locals, if you enjoy hiking, you should make an effort to hike the PCT in the San Jacinto area, especially the northern part of the PCT in that area. If you like more extreme challenges, then hike the southern part of the PCT in the area. It’s real mountain hiking, and very scenic.

Tahquitz Rock and Peak, and a lot of the first 180 miles of the PCT

I forgot what these are called, but I think it's Flamin' Hot Jalapeno Cheeto Cone

Another reassuring sign that one is headed in the right direction

First snow on trail

N. Fork San Jacinto River...largest flow of water yet on PCT

Great tent site near West Fork Snow Creek
