DAY 51. JUN 16 TOTAL MILES 900: 1/3 of the way



N 37 deg 31.760; W 118 deg 57.020: We left Vermillion Valley Resort at 10:34. I was so hungry last night I ate two meals plus ice cream. It was a great place. The trail out was not bad and we did 16+4 and went over Silver Pass to get to Purple Lake. We all got up at 5 am to get started by 6 am. I cannot count the large beautiful lakes we see every day and the ones near the passes are usually frozen. WE ARE 1/3 OF THE WAY TO CANADA!

Glissading over Silver Pass. We had several steep slopes coming off of Silver Pass so we glissaded instead of traversing the snowslopes. We just sat down on our behinds and slid down the steep slopes. It was a blast!
