I got a good night’s sleep last night and now I’m ready. Today is the day that the trail goes up to the high point for both Washington and Oregon.
I was up and hiking by 6:15 a.m. . I’m already at a high elevation where I slept last night. Nevertheless, going up to the high point will prove challenging.
The morning started with level or slightly descending hike. I also encountered quite a few down trees. Some were difficult to get around or climb over, but I managed.
Late morning, the trail started going up. It continued its climb throughout the morning and early afternoon. Finally, about 2:30 p.m., I reached the high point – 7,573 feet.
Do you think the trail will be all descending now? Yeah, neither do I.
Only 35 miles to Crater Lake.
