Date: September 8, 2017
\nMiles: 7.6 miles from Onion Valley trailhead to the PCT; 788.9 – 802.6<\/p>\n

It took less than a week for my body to forget what it’s like to be on trail. I was sluggish and my legs and my lungs objected to going over both Kearsarge Pass and Glen Pass. I wasn’t too tired to notice the difference in the scenery between June and now, though…so much less snow!<\/p>\n

Once we reached the PCT, I started feeling better and I hiked happily through the amazing scenery. \u00a0We stopped at the top of Glen Pass to watch a pack train go over. I held my breath as the horses navigated steep and narrow rock path and a stretch of snow. One of the riders said he has done a lot of scary things in his life, and that was the worst. \u00a0You can watch my video of it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
