Vicki and I backpacked (mainly) on the Pacific Crest Trail from Mill Creek Summit in the Angeles National Forest to the Golden Spike in Soledad Canyon, near Acton. Along the way we climbed Mount Gleason and visited the Station Fire Memorial. We also checked out the “Golden Spike” monument, where the PCT was formally completed and dedicated as a National Scenic Trail back in 1993. The weather started out hot, but a cold front came through and produced plenty of chilly damp clouds for the second half of the hike. As always, the PCT delivered plenty of views and lots of ups and downs.
