Without being able to locate Pear Hut, we stop for our last lunch on the trail.
Finally, we're really heading down. This makes it much easier to reach the target elevation of 7,000 feet where the Trooper is parked.
Finally at the truck, it is a relief to drop our packs for the last time, get out of our boots, long underwear, and other cold weather accessories, and head home. A dinner stop at Bear Mountain Pizza capped the evening.
