Pass Mountain and Mary's Rock

I huffed and puffed my way up Mary's Rock from the parking lot AT Trailhead at Panorama. Rehydrated at the bottom, and then I set off on the Pass Mountain Loop using the AT and Pass Mountain Hut Road to return. What a way to spend the day. I stopped at Pass Mountain Hut and talked to a SoBo hiker for a little while. He was 74 years young! How awesome and inspiring! The spring behind the Hut was flowing so I took the time to douse my head and filter a couple liters of water for the return trip.
