Day 1 on the PCT

Set off from Edison Lake trail head at 8000 ft and made our way over Silver Pass at 1100 ft. The climb was tough but the beauty of the evergreens, rock formations and the abundant source of snow melt made it spectacular. We did run into some rain with thunder claps at the top of the pass! We set up camp at Chief Lake and jumped into our tent early. Got up around 2am to a clear, cool night sky and a beautiful 1/2 moon. A great first day on the PCT.
