In the afternoon mobs of people make the trip across the sandstone trail to witness one of the parks most magical sights: Sunset at Delicate Arch.

On the Pacific Crest Trail in the Pasayten Wilderness
Heading north on the Pacific Crest Trail from Slate Peak the trail slowly looses altitude on its way down to Holman Pass.
Sunset at Jim Pass
Here is a junction with the western option heading towards Devils Dome and trail to the east down to the Pasayten River. Continuing north the trail gains all the altitude you just lost, popping out of the forest into the splendid meadows just below Goat Lakes.
There is a dependable spring here and camping in the meadows is spectacular.
Meadows just below tiny Goat Lakes
Continuing the trail makes a sweeping arc as it climbs to Rock Pass. Powder Mountain.
Wildflowers and Powder Mountain
The view from Rock Pass is unsurpassed.

Dropping down several switchbacks the trail traverses the north-facing slopes on its way to Woody Pass. here the snow lingers late into the season.
After climbing again to the notch of Woody Pass the trail now swings to the western side of the Cascade Crest in its way to the highest point of the trail on this section at Lakeview Ridge.

The views, the flowers, from the ridge are impossible to beat. snow abounds until mid or late August and camping here is incredible.
