Day 15: A wet day at Wood’s Creek

Kings River camping area to Wood’s Creek over Pinchot Pass

Mileage: 11.6 miles (18.7 km), total 171.9 miles (276.6 km)

Today was a much easier day over Pinchot Pass which was a far simpler affair than Mather and Muir Passes over the last few days.

The day started with an easy walk from our campsite towards the pass with a gradual climb to begin with. The weather was beautiful in the morning although it was much colder in the air than it had been on previous days. The marmot below didn’t seem to mind the cold weather much or my getting close to him to take a few photos – he must have thought there was a feed coming.
