Day 60 back on trail, passes and valleys

I’m getting back on trail today we are taking a bus from Ridgecrest up to Walker Pass. Jeff and Ellen are with me again. 




And just like that at 9:09 we are walking back on the pct at Walker Pass!




White daisy Tiddytips although simplistic they are beautiful.



Freckled Milkvetch grow a pod that almost looks like what we would see in an alien spaceship movie.




As we come up on the top of the saddle and we can look back on some of the switch back so I will just came out of.



This saddle is the China Lake overlook shortly after we passed 

The Mount Jenkins, Monument





There is a dramatic and interesting color and texture difference between two mountains in the same range.




Encountering a new flower on trail. It is an arrow leaf Balsamroot.



Stopped for a snack and water break on the side of this mountain with a pretty view of the desert below



Today has been a day of climbing up and down with every pass we go over giving incredible valley views.




We stopped for a water refill along this stream. 



View from the top of yet another pass
