No more desert

MILE 788 - in the shuttle bus to Kiersage pass

We made it. We left the desert and are in the Sierra Nevada now. At this point we are in a shuttle bus, getting back to the trailhead. We stayed in Bischop for a day, it was hard to leave here...:

But the Sierra is breathtaking. We summited Mount Whitney (4300m /14505feet)) and Forester Pass ( highest point of the PCT 14300feet). We got hailed on, walked through snow, rain and sun. It was exiting, exhausting and stunning. Just look at the pictures and imagine that in real its 10x as beautiful.

The storm has done is job, the sun is shining. Yosemite here we come.

Hugh milestone. Everybody applauded when hikers came in. This means you did 700 miles of desert and now will enter the Sierra.

No more tuns of water,but a hugh bearcanister hidden in our backpacks...
