Destination: Roaring Fork Shelter
Today's miles: 15.1
Total miles: 256.9
Today was a day of challenges and rewards. We had a tough climb right away, and we especially felt it after our big day yesterday. The top of the climb presented us with the peak of Snowbird Mountain, a grassy bald with postcard-perfect views (pictures below). We had multiple descents and ascents afterwards, and some of the climbs were especially taxing. Towards the end of the day, we reached the summit of Max Patch, the prettiest bald we've seen so far. I didn't get the iPad out of my bag, but took some good pictures and videos with the camera. The last two miles down from Max Patch were very pleasant. We have a long day planned tomorrow to get into Hot Springs so we're trying to get mentally prepared.
As of today, we have finished a quarter of our planned mileage.
