PCT Trail Scenes #121

Cars were few and far between on Highway 20, the last main road to civilization before the final 70 miles or so to Canada.

Rainy Pass: Cold, wet, and uncomfortable.

Highway 20 at Rainy Pass was a climatic moment on the PCT. It was a place where the stress, frustration, discomfort, joy, elation, relief, all seemed to take place at once. It's one of my favorite "trail angel" experiences. I could go on and on, but their is no point. Indie wrote about this day perfectly on his PCT blog. If so inclined, you can read it here.
