I filled up at each, and drank a ton of water today, probably a couple gallons. The day got pretty warm, especially on some exposed stretches of trail, and I had to keep guzzling water to keep up with my sweat. It definitely didn\u2019t get to the 110 forecast in the valleys since we were at elevation, but it was definitely at least 90.<\/p><p>After lunch, it was that much hotter. A couple other hikers we had been leapfrogging with were looking at taking a siesta, but I hadn\u2019t done that yet this trip. The temperature didn\u2019t seem hot enough to stop all hiking. Plus we wanted to get around the Shelly Fire ahead as quickly as possible before it or the closed area got any larger.<\/p><p>We were able to see the smoke plume from the fire later in the day, reaching high into the sky. It looked plenty manageable for us to continue on our path.

Neither of us had slept well, and the hot weather and miles were starting to get to us. However, since the trail was mainly flat and downhill, it was manageable.<\/p><p>There was no realistic campsite with water, so we carried for the last 4 miles, including a climb at the very end of the day. Despite the late hour and miles already done, we were still able to fly up the climb.<\/p><p>We ended up doing 32 miles today. We hike 11-12 hours daily, including breaks, and today 32 miles fit into that. The going was relatively easy, and we probably only stopped for an hour total which works out to a constant 3mph for the entire day. Not bad for one of the hottest days of the year. Once again, we should get to town a day sooner than planned, but it will be good to do that and get the first fire behind us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f88aaae elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"f88aaae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"59552\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_59552\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-2 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PCT_20240706_152358-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PCT_20240706_152358-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PCT_20240706_125647-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PCT_20240706_125647-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3901da0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3901da0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9860044\" data-id=\"9860044\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2495430 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"2495430\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\n<!-- START inReach MapShare Shortcode -->\n<div class=\"inmap-wrap\">\t<div id=\"inmap-24ab48\" class=\"inmap-map\"><\/div>\t<div class=\"inmap-info\"><\/div><\/div><!-- END inReach MapShare Shortcode -->\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f676d82 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f676d82\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ac9bc25\" data-id=\"ac9bc25\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A day of great ridge walking that turned long, hot and strenuous.
