Pre PCT Thruhike X/C Scenic Tour

[Maineman]

Thanks so much to each of you who offered scenic route suggestions here on the forum for the drive from Maine to Northern California - the prelude to my Pacific Crest Trail thru hike which begins on Friday!

I've been updating my thru hike journal along the way, we hit many natural areas along the way:

I've posted some hi resolution panoramas here:

South Dakota and Wyoming are my two new favorite states - gotta go back!

Sounds like a great start to a great trip! The west is just jaw dropping and beautiful!
I have to say, I am super jealous that you saw a mountain lion! Everytime we are out there, I'm hoping to see one (from the car).........maybe on our next trip!!!
