By far...Day 8-9 was the worst day of hiking I've had in my entire life--except for the cool elk visit in the morning. Zero energy. All uphill. Hot as hell and muggy. 8 miles...worst 8 miles ever. This happened to me on Day 3 of my PCT hike back in 2022 in the desert where I wasn't eating and getting enough calories and I just had to set up my tent and nap for a few hours. ALWAYS EAT! Day 10 was amazing once those calories kicked in.

@@hexcrawlhiker1702 The heat is a killer, saps the life out of me too. The only time I'm not hungry is during and after being in the heat. Those first few days were the most amazing so far. The knife's edge, etc. like being on another planet. lol
