- I had a nice relaxed morning. Got going up, and up. I don't like slushy snow, but it was just the morning. I was recognized by a viewer! This made my day.
Snow continued downhill. No worries, I'm going downhill.
Started up for Donahue Pass. Not big miles, bit the elevation gain + snow coverage slowed me down. It would be a problem if I was worried about the number of miles I did.
2 passes, and now I'm less than a half days walk to a road.

4:02 The pink snow in the Sierra is cool. It's called Watermelon Snow and is the result of a cold-loving green algae called Chlamydomonas nivalis. It contains a red carotenoid pigment called astaxanthin that is also found in arctic and antarctic krill and shrimp. • 5:03 We got secretly Rickrolled in this video. 😄•
I had to look Rickrolled up. It's been around since 2007 and this is the first time that I heard of it !
Besides the RickRoll, I do like that song!
I also like Darude Sandstorm. 😀
Great videos, such beautiful views. Thank you for creating these vids, really enjoying following along!
Tha k you for watching and also for the kind words.
Nice to meet you brother!
Same to you!
I'm really enjoying your videos. I even got out a map of the Sierras to get a better idea of exactly where you are at in each one. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
I did the same thing!
That's high praise. Thank you!
It's all down hill from here!
If only...
Thank you
You're welcome
For NOBOs Donohue Pass holds an interesting distinction. It is the last pass on the NOBO PCT for which no subsequent pass or high point is higher. Every point north of Donohue Pass is lower in elevation than the pass.
I think someone told me this. Like, "it's mostly downhill from here!"
