| I find it very helpful to use hiking poles. They help steady my body with its higher center of gravity due to carrying a pack and this takes some of the stress off of my knees. They also help give an assist when going up hill. |

Potter Pass
| The trail widens as it reaches the pass. I assume this happens because people shift their focus from walking to gawking. They probably fan out and walk beside each other. I have to admit that there is something special about reaching a pass. The horizon drops away as you approach the high point and you get the feeling that you've reach the edge of the world. |
