| It was nice and warm in the tent, but outside it was brisk. Good thing we had a climb to warm up with. Almost to the pass the view reminded me of the Sierras. |

| After the pass the trail dropped down and we found ourselves walking on a road until we reached the Alpine Tunnel trail head. We signed in at the trail head register and we were pleased to find out that Team All Dead were just a day ahead of us. The trail followed an old train bed that had been turned into a (very wet) trail. The tunnel at the end was disappointing. It had not only collapsed, but had been filled in until it was hard to tell there used to be a tunnel there. I had been so excited to walk through a tunnel...oh well. |

| Most of the snow has been optional, but not this patch. Some dayhikers that were visiting the Alpine Tunnel thought we were pretty crazy to cross a snow field similiar to this one--but we couldn't very well wait for it to melt. |
 |
| Later in the day we did wait out a grauple storm under a large pine tree. Once the grauple stopped falling and the thunder faded away we continued climbing up to a pass. We camped low on the other side. |
