Climbing from Lower Twins Lake towards Summit Lake one is offered a fantastic view of Lassen Peak. And after an extended session of picture taking we proceed to David’s car at the trailhead.
I quickly dumped the content of my pack and replaced the food with a 4 day supply for my PCT hike. David drove me to the Lower Summit Lake Campground saving me about 1/2 a mile of walking.
After about 2.5 mile hike I reached the PCT at mile 1350 and started hiking south towards Truckee. Along the way I met a hiker who recommended the Farther River crossing as a good place to camp the night. Even though it was late I decided to push for it and reached it around 6:30. PCT mile 1338.
