Kendall Katwalk

This portion of the Pacific Crest Trail is in exceptional condition and is clearly well taken care of. The elevation gain is gentle from start to finish and there are great views as you get into the talus slopes and reach the Katwalk itself. There were flowers still in bloom, but no berries yet. Lots of pika were scurrying about in the talus. The only drawback of this trail is the traffic noise from cars whizzing by on I-90 below.

The weather today was perfect for this hike. The clouds early on kept things cool during the climb, but things cleared up so that the views were wonderful. Just before and after the Katwalk there are good rocks to sit on and enjoy your lunch.

In case you are not familiar with the trail, almost immediately after leaving the trailhead there is a junction. Go right to head to the Katwalk.
