Our second morning of hiking took us through the gold rushers’ least favourite section of the trail as it requires you to hike up and down through several gullies which were apparently quite muddy at the time. The day starts off rudely with a steep section of trail and doesn’t let up until Pleasant Camp, thus named because it is located at the first pleasant stretch of trail since Canyon City. We had lunch right on the beach.<\/p>\n

nowhere to go but UP<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

We occasionally broke out of the forest to areas with great views.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Telegraph<\/a>

Telegraph wire!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This route was mostly used in winter. Gold rushers would push sleds over the frozen river and created a ladder system to go up waterfalls.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This regrowth marks the site of the original Pleasant Camp.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

We got our water from whatever clear source was on our path. This ceramic filter gets all of the potential bacteria out of the water. The result is cold and delicious. We never had warm or stale water on the trek, nor did we ever have to carry more than a litre at a time.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"It<\/a>

It was suggested we buy one litre wide mouth Nalgene bottles, which fit the filters perfectly. Screw it on and spend about a minute pumping to get your litre of water. It’s good for the biceps! Remember to alternate arms!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
