Day 5: Devils Postpile and Red's Meadow

We started out the day by taking a minor detour off of the JMT to visit Devils Postpile. It was smaller than I expected.

We took a quick shower at Red's Meadow, then settled down for some lunch and to sort through our food resupply box.

After Red's Meadow we walked through a recent burn area, which was very hot with the sun beating down on us.

Taking a break on an uphill

We camped near Upper Crater Meadow. For the first time this trip, the mosquitos were really bad. Ian ended up killing at least 10 inside the tent even though we tried not to let them in.

Final Tally:
10 miles
1500 ft up, 1800 ft down
