Golden Horn - Snowy Lakes, Cutthroat Pass via the Pacific Crest Trail — Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023

The parking lot only had a few cars in it Monday at 10am, but by the time we left on Wednesday afternoon the lot was completely full and cars were parked down the road and on the highway. TH has a bathroom. 
Monday and Tuesday were cloudy and pretty quiet on trail. Larches are incredible. So yellow. 
Get water before you get up to the pass. After the pass it’s a few miles before you hit more water.  
We camped at upper snowy lake. It was beautiful. There is a bathroom by the lower lake I think, not sure about the upper. 
Even though the clouds were in and out the whole trip, it was a magical experience wandering through the larches. We had some breaks to do some painting. The pups had a great time. 
No snow on the trail yet.
