Mile 683.1 - 702.4

We have completed the desert section of the PCT. That is a huge relief. This has been a goal of ours since day one. This first section was extremely difficult at times due to the heat and lack of water. It was beautiful in its own way but we are happy to have it behind us now. 

We are getting stronger and can hike more miles per day but with the beauty of the Sierras coming we will have to force ourselves to slow down and enjoy the views. We are excited and can't wait to see what awaits us.

Yes, 700 miles of desert behind us. A huge milestone for us.
