Day 72Douglas County, Oregon

View on map

Crater Lake Rim Trail delivers less than expected: fog, snow and reduced visibility. I see the lake at times, but far from ideal conditions. Snow continues until the evening.

Oregon reveals a much more winter weather than I imagined by the end of June.

The sun, however, begins to pierce and gives hope for improvement. I am continuing towards the peak of the PCT in Oregon, gradually getting closer to several hikers ahead.
