Selden Pass, Pass #4! Twas just a few hundred feet above Marie Lake and so most of our day was spent hiking down, down, then steeply down into Muir Trail Ranch.
2nd breakfast was spent at Heart Lake
a quick breather at Sallie Keys Lake
then lunch on the dusty trail overlooking the MTR valley
The drop to MTR was painful, but we were thrilled to be going south & down with near empty bear canisters (Misty!) than north & up & full & heavy.
MTR was an oasis after 9 days hiking. We had to deal with our resupply first; then, along with Shannon & Ed who are also staying here, we had the grand tour of the resort before being shown our rustic 3-bed tent cabin. With proper walls and mattresses, we were in heaven. We had a soak in both of their hot spring pools, relaxed in the lounge, then feasted on the fantastic dinner they served. We are going to really enjoy our zero day here tomorrow!
