More pictures from the Sierras – part 2

I was ready to be done with the horribleness of California, but I wasn’t ready to be done with the PCT, so I compromised and decided to downgrade myself from “thru-hiker” to “section-hiker”.  So I jumped up to Cascade Locks to hike Washington.  Both the Sierras and Washington are some of the absolute best hiking…
