Back on the PCT

Tuesday 9/22/2015 Sunrise Lake to Tuolumne Meadows to Lyell Canyon (PCT 935), total distance 19 miles

I had a long day ahead of me but I wanted to go at least once for a swim so I left early. As I left a Coyote crossed the trail right behind me and the sun started painting the mountains.  



View near Cathedral Pass

As compensation for the early start I had breakfast and swim at Cathedral Lake. A few other backpackers had camped there, several of them going for the JMT. 



I met several during the day. Two coming from pretty far away are Jaehoon and Taewoo from South Korea. They were a little worried that they had taken too much stuff. 


In Lyell Canyon I had a chance for a second refreshing swim today. I needed it, it was a lot of hiking. 


I found a nice campsite not too far from a nice spot at the creek.
