Mile 2588.9 to Glacier Pass (Mile 2609.6)
Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hike: Day 151

Today was stunning. Unreal beautiful.

Didn't start hiking until 8:30/9am due to wet and cold. The forecast for this morning and day not as good as it was supposed to be, but it should be nice tomorrow: in the 60's!

We are 40.5 miles from the border. Quite cold but at least not raining or actively precipitating. The entire Boo/Happy Meal/Baby Gap/Shade gang also camped here; we had a big fire with a cooking stone, a drying line, and it is nice to have a little bit of a family for the end of the trail.

We'll go over Harts Pass tomorrow and then pretty much that's it—we begin our descent into Canada.
