Friday, July 26th. Day 38

Today's miles = 18.5 Total CDT miles = 547.7

Today was ALL uphill. The first three miles today were supposed to be bumpy downhill and turns out it was bumpy up. Then we went up for 15 miles. Then we went "flat", aka, uphill the rest of the day. It was a hard hike today but I felt really well until the last few miles. There were a few passes that I went over today one of which was over 9,000 feet. We're starting to get back into the high mountains. Right as we were about to go over the pass we saw a storm coming in and it began to rain. Any sign on lightening and we were going to head back down to tree line but luckily it only sprinkled on us and we were able to make it over the pass no problem. The views today were some of the best views I've had since Glacier. The climbs are tough but the views are worth it.

Tonight I'm camped at a lake. I wasn't feeling well and had to cut the day short by a few miles. Whats a few miles?...
