Day 57
Miles: 21
Total Miles: 863
I hiked along Evolution Creek most of the day today and crossed paths with IPod, Sanjay, Creeper and Twisted throughout the day. I Positioned myself three miles from Selden Pass at only 11,000 ft. The Muir Pass was the last 12,000 foot pass on the trail - it's all down hill from here!
After Selden Pass I have about 16 miles to VVR (Vermilion Valley Resort) Lake Trail which will take me 1.4 miles to the lake, a ferry ride across to the resort and a restaurant meal and shower! I have to make it to the lake by 4:30 tomorrow to catch the ferry - no problem.

The trail today showed me some great waterfalls - some careening off of granite cliffs thousands of feet up off the valley floor. I also ran across several trail maintenance crews clearing the trail of downed trees from winter storms. Without these crews, it would be quite a different, and more difficult, hike.
Today is "Hike Naked Day" and the Summer Solstice. I'll spare you any pictures... :)
