Cutthroat Pass via the Pacific Crest Trail — Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023

Went on Thursday hoping it wouldnt be very busy and we could still catch the larches. The larches are slightly past peak looking a bit more burnt orange but still nice to see. While we went for the larches this hike would be nice any time of the years, the views are great. Its more a steady climb than the typical Washington hike which is a nice break. No snow but tiny section in the shade was a bit icy.

Parking lot was full by 10am. Lots of people and lots of dogs. A lot of people don't leash their dogs so be prepared for that.
