PACIFIC COAST TRAIL

PCT Day 55: Foodfest at Vermillion Valley Resort

ByPurple Haze Posted onJune 15, 2013September 21, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 878.7

A 1.6-mile detour got us off the PCT and down to Edison Lake and the boat shuttle to VVR. The lake was very low and only a small boat could get into the landing. 5-Star, Cinco, Bambi and I piled in and off we went.

Got to VVR before they stopped serving breakfast. I had the PCT special – three eggs, steak, hash browns and pancakes. Well done and a good start!

VVR Breakfast

I had a weigh-in and tipped the scales about 30 lbs down – my high school weight. So primed and ready for the Saturday night BBQ special – combination plate of chicken, beef brisket, ribs, potato salad and beans.

Oh, I forgot the corn on the cob!

After dinner, I shared a whole peach pie alamode with four other hikers. We were all stuffed!
