You may know this but the golden staircase was the last piece of the JMT that was constructed. So in railroad terms, it was the golden spike, or in this case, the golden staircase.
I thought the Mather Pass climb was the hardest climb of our hike. We camped at the lakes on the south side basin. I cowboy camped that night and it was amazing.
Wow! What a day of stunning scenery and challenging terrain!
@OnTrailTime although challenging, it was one of my favorite days on trail.
So weird about the smoke comments from that other hiker. I don’t recall any smoke and we were barely sprinkled on for like 20 minutes.

We swam at Palisades Lake. Was that a duck lake? Mountain Goat hit his 1,000 mile mark there on the PCT.
