Snow in June

c) Andrew Carter, 2021

To say it was a surprise when it snowed on me on the evening of the 9th of June is an understatement. But snow it did. Approximately 1 inch where I was, and about 2 inches a little higher. By end of day on the 10th, however, the snow had melted. Will snow be in my future in late September or early October when I am in the high Sierra? Stay tuned.

About 1 hour before the snow began to fall.
My camp the next morning
Deer hoof prints
Some smaller animal
Early afternoon, almost gone.

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright.
