CDT Day 98: Green River & Lakes, Gunsight Pass

Daily Miles: 26.3, Total Miles: 1,703.7

I enjoyed a great day following the gorgeous Green River and Green River Lakes downstream for about ten miles.

The water color was a turquoise green, I suspect due to glacial silt. Steep massive walls still rose from the valley floor.

After leaving the Green, I climbed over 2,000 ft to Gunsight Pass and dropped down to sagebrush meadows and forest. Walked through a herd of cattle before stopping for dinner and getting back on the trail for a few hours.

Definitely in grizzly country so getting more conscious about making noise, eating away from my tent, and have started hanging my food.
