PACIFIC CREST TRAIL 2026 Thru Hike: Mile 42.6-77.3, Mt Laguna to Julian

Leaving Mt Laguna at the Desert View Picnic Trailhead, we embarked on the exposed area with cool weather and almost no wind. It had been rainy, snowy and very cold when we hiked into Mt Laguna so we zeroed to stay out of the elements. (I get cold very easily.) We had Trail Magic at Scissors Crossing and a very quick hitch to Julian by Trail Angel Brian! Thank you!!!
