Comfortable night in cabin, but cold NW wind blowing. After oatmeal and tea, we climb back up to ridge and hike through 4 inches of drifting snow. First few hours of walking not difficult, but then we start the 20 mile section known as the "Rollercoaster" for its pitiless ups and downs. Quick lunch at view in photo, but too cold and blustery to linger. Eventually cross Snickers Gap (busy highway), then up to Bears Den and the hostel. Only 8 miles today. Hot shower, hot chocolate, and sore legs.
