Wonderland Trail day 9

It got particularly cold last night as we ar about 6000 feet yet again. Putting on the soaking wet boots was the real challenge and was the last thing I did before I put on my pack. We realized right away that the ground had frost everywhere in the meadows around camp, it had gotten that cold.





We hiked down to North Puyallup River where we saw three goats up on the hillside.We rested here and got snacks before heading up to Golden Lakes.








After crossing the river we hiked up to Golden Lakes where we found a beautiful patrol cabin on a nice lake.


At any patch of sunlight you could find Jennifer soaking in the warmth.




After we left Golden Lakes we passed through Sunset Park. We met a ranger there who checked our pass and informed us the big downhill was right around the corner.Down we went for hours to South Mowich River Camp. Upon arrival we were delighted to be alone at camp ant have use of an old log shelter. With a roof , floor and three walls it was paradise.
