PCT Day 96: Mile 1793.0 to 1820.9

August 6th, 2018

Today we hiked into Crater Lake National Park, the 5th National Park we’ve been through so far on the PCT. We weren’t planning to get to Crater Lake until tomorrow. There was a 20 mile stretch without water though, so we decided to hike some extra miles rather than carry the extra cooking water. It got really smokey again today. We hiked through a previously burned area for quite awhile. We had an awesome vegan burger and vegetables at the Crater Lake restaurant. We also stocked up on some extra snacks and drank some beer.
