The Trek: Through the Burn
It was a challenging day on the trail, with a 14-mile hike under the scorching sun and the constant worry of water scarcity. The author, Amanda S, had to carefully ration her water, leaving only half a liter for the evening and morning. The heat and elevation made for a long day, and she had to resort to camping just 0.2 miles before the fire station water spigot.
Despite the challenges, Amanda S managed to see some wildlife, including bunnies, a deer, a woodpecker, and possibly a magpie. She also encountered other hikers, including a NoBo (Northbound) and a few Southbound (SOBO) hikers, including Coop.
