Cutthroat Pass via the Pacific Crest Trail — Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023

Arrived right before 8am, and the parking lot was nearly full and cars were starting to park on the road/highway. East access to the road and parking lo with minimal potholes. This hike is a stunner! By mile 3-4, you’ve got great views of the larches and the pass. At the top, there are plenty of spaces for you to eat lunch and wide beautiful views. There was very little to no trash, which I was very excited to see. Let’s keep it up with no trace and to pack out dog + human waste and their accompanying products! Trail is in great condition overall, creek crossings are pretty simple at this time. Started at 8am and finished right around 1:30pm. This was including lots of stops for gawking at the stunning views, photos, and lunch. One of my fave hikes. By the time I left, there were no spaces in the lot + road and many cars parked alongside the highway. Definitely one of my new fave hikes!
