11 July, hiked over Porcupine pass at 12200 ft elevation. going up the North side it had switchbacks, coming down the south side was basically a path heading down at an angle. I think it had two switchbacks. hiked a pretty easy day of 12 miles. we planned each day to hike over the passes in early morning due to the weather/thunderstorms in the afternoon. for the entire hike we never had to hike in rain. I think the rain God gave us his best shot Thursday night when it rained for 12 hours and he took pity on us the rest of the trip. lambert meadows was for the most part over 11000 ft for the day. we saw some mt goats in the hill sides. Some of the mt ranges were just majestic and rugged. we didn't see a person on this section for the day.
