The night was pretty cold, -2°C with snow and hail! Humidity at 92%. So everyone had condensation in their tents, given there was no wind.

By the time we took the shuttle to the trail head at 8.30 the sun was out, and it turned out to be great walking weather, peaking at about 18° with a cooling wind.

This was very much like a PCT day, with big contours and switchbacks visible from far giving a view of your next few miles. Lots of undulating so got some good climbs in. Legs are feeling much better today.

Camped near a water source, nice spot.
