There was just a touch of snow from the previous 24 hours, but it was quite cold in the morning as we left the Duck Pass trailhead at Coldwater Campground, headed for the PCT.
The sun came out but it was still cold at Skelton Lake.
After Barney Lake, we labored up toward Duck Pass.
Pika Lake and Duck Lake shone brilliantly in the cold drifted snow.
We sought what shelter we could for lunch above the outlet, where the wind and waves had whipped ice along the shore.
When we reached the PCT junction, the lateness of the hour convinced my companions to return while I pushed on toward Crater Meadows.
