In this June 20, 2017, photo provided by Anya Sellsted shows a snow covered section of the Pacific Crest Trail, near Sisters, Oregon. Sellsted had traversed the highest snow-covered passes and forded raging rivers during her hike from Mexico to Canada when she ran into trouble in the high Sierra Nevada mountains. While crossing a log over a rushing creek in Yosemite National Park, the Seattle woman fell in the deep water and was gasping for air as the weight of her backpack pushed her under. She is among a growing number of hikers who have posted dramatic accounts of saving their own skin after close calls on the Pacific Crest Trail, thanks to melting snow that have swelled creeks and rivers.
