One of our favorite areas to hike is along the PCT in the Green Springs area where one can hike to
Hobart Bluff, Boccard Point, or Little Hyatt Lake. Since we last hiked out to Little Hyatt Lake in 2016 it was time to revisit this section of trail and enjoy the wildflower diversity, sitting by the lake, and at this of year, meeting a few NOBO PCT Thru Hikers as well. We started our hike on the PCT at Hwy 66 around 8:30 am and finished our hike 5-1/2 hours later. Lest you think we hiked that entire time, we did take a nice break at Little Hyatt Lake (our turnaround spot) where it was very quiet and beautiful, and we stopped to visit with two couples hiking the PCT that were from Washington State and one man from Poland. Due to snow in the Sierras this year being 4x the normal, most Thru Hikers skipped over the Sierra portion of trail and are here in Oregon a little earlier this year. We did cover 10.8 miles today and below are some photos from an awesome hike in the beautiful Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument area.
