Day 71 ~ 1116 - 1139.8
The hiking today was amazing, and we were able to put in some bigger miles...our biggest day since our marathon into Kennedy Meadows! What a great feeling.
We saw so many day hikers today, as we entered the beautiful Granite Chief Wilderness. A note on trail etiquette: if you are approaching a hiker head on, the person going uphill has the right of way; step over and let them proceed! It seemed as if everyone we encountered today was unfamiliar with this unwritten rule.
We hiked along a ridge with stunning views of Lake Tahoe.all day. I feel so captivated by the massive electric blue body of water; I feel this is surely a place we will return to visit someday.
We were unaware of an 8 mile section of trail with no water. This portion of trail was exposed, and it was hot! Luckily the wind was whipping, which kept us cool and helped us to conserve our limited amount of water. As we move north, it seems that the drought in California is becoming more apparent.
Hopefully we can maintain this momentum!
