Hike Distance: 9.6 miles

Elevation Gain: 1403 feet

The day started out cool but it turned much warmer as the sun came out.  I didn’t see very many people on the trail until I reached Dry Creek Falls.  I had the falls to myself for a few minutes and then the people, and their unleashed dogs, arrived.  I decided to leave and head south on the PCT until I reached The Pinnacles.  The section of trail between Dry Creek and The Pinnacles had only a couple other hikers, and it was great solitude and the forest was beautiful.  A truly fantastic day!
