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

Spectacular show of larches ! Cant get any better .

Left home around 3am, reached trailhead at 645am and parking lot was almost full. Started at 7am and reached by 930am. Went slow stopped for views and photos a lot. Came back to trailhead by 1245.. parking now stretched for miles !

Awesome views Last 2 miles .. there were at-least 7-8 camp tents . Saw a person riding a horse .

Once you reach the pass , it’s amazing . It’s wide open with 360 degree views . Lot of places to sit and enjoy snack/lunch !

Trail directions in WTA was very helpful . Clocked 11 miles return .
