[pct-l] PCT Must Sees?

Early morning due on a lacy spiderweb stretched across the trail between two 
Lodgepole pines.

The material making up the trail underfoot being composed entirely of 
pinecones and pieces.

The way the Manzanita bark appears to be fine finished furniture when wet.

The warm smile and deep understanding in the eyes of a fellow hiker that you 
haven't seen in several days, weeks, months, years or decades.

The way the cool spring water filters up and lightly shifts the bits of 
obsidian this way and that at Obsidian Springs near North Sister and the incredible 
view to the north through the trees from there.

The rainbow coming off of Toulumne Falls on a warm afternoon in brilliant 
sunshine on a late Spring day.

The way that melting snow in a forest slips off of the branches making 
perfect holes in the previously perfect blanket of sparkling snow on the ground. 

A wind swept snow storm in a tall Sierra forest.
