July 3, 2020. Backpacked. Started at Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead, New Army Pass to the summit, then down to Soldier Lake where I camped. July 4th, Siberian Pass to the PCT southbound back to the trailhead. 28.4 miles and 5,640 feet of elevation gain for both days. Counting the stats for day one, the summit day, in this log. A tiny bit of snow on top of New Army Pass. I heard Old Army has more snow and rockfall from the recent earthquake.
