South Lake Tahoe marks the unofficial end of the Sierra on the PCT. Though from a geologist perspective, it ends further north, it should be the end of the challenging terrain and trail representing the Sierra region, so I will call it the end of the Sierra. Since the trail was taxing on our bodies, Cookie Monster and I took 2 zero days to make sure our bodies fully recovered for the trail ahead. We will be moving faster in the coming days, so want to make sure we are in good shape to do that.
South Lake Tahoe is a decent size city with everything we needed and free camping to boot, so it was an easy place to take some time off. Back to the trail tomorrow.
