Day 126, part 2

At Lion’s Den they have a few beds, virtually unlimited space to camp and a “hiker hut” which is a mini-chalet with a kitchen, bathroom and common area for the hikers. Everything is donation based.

This year, with so many fires around this region, hikers are arriving here with too much food (like

me). The result is that the hiker boxes are not only completely full, but full with good stuff. So here you also eat and drink as much as you want for free.

This was my favorite stay on the PCT. It felt a little bittersweet to leave this morning instead of taking a zero like the other hikers, since I’m in no rush. On the other hand 🖐️ I cannot wait to finish the PCT. Two. More. Days.
