Section Hikers - Pacific Crest Trail, Sky Lakes Wilderness, Oregon

            These two young guys, who I think were local, were just heading out for a weekend of backpacking. They had no specific destination except to explore the Sky Lakes Wilderness and hike on the famous PCT. Note their little dog standing behind them - nice pooch.

I did a trail run with Ringo yesterday on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was a point to point from Four Mile Lake in Sky Lakes Wilderness along the Twin Ponds Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail with the final destination being Summit Trailhead on Highway  140. The distance was 11 miles. I did the same run last year in the opposite direction - we saw a bear that day. No bears yesterday - also more downhill than uphill doing it the direction we did yesterday. I love running on trails.
