Dang - what are the odds! That was the same day Matthew, Rick, and I dayhiked Mt. Kaweah. We started at 2a, getting to Big Arroyo in five hours (your time was ...
Bob, does your license plate have BURD in it? If so, I saw your van at the trailhead on Sunday. Four of us did a loop to Crystal Lakes and over the saddle to...
yep, that's the family van. Nice and roomy. :-) Small world, eh? We stayed at the Silver Lake Resort, "resort" being a bit generous. We were originally...
Ha, when I saw it, I wondered to myself if it belonged to you. Then I thought, nah, Bob Burd wouldn't be driving that - must be a different Burd. We were...
Leor, thanks for the great report of your awesome trip. I've always taken the regular Sawtooth trail, but I am very tired of the switchbacks. Next time I go...
Nice trio of trips Bob! Indeed, I was ahead going both ways. I didn't see anybody the whole day either after my partner turned around, but I knew there were...
Thanks Alice. I did the switchbacks on Saturday afternoon just to see what they were like and will probably never do them again! The Glacier Pass trail is very...
Leor, it was probably your partner who passed us just before we got back to the trailhead about 4:30. He was asleep in his car as we left, and so did not see...
The easiest way to do Sawtooth is to traverse just below the ridgeline from the pass and then when the NW ridge starts going up to the summit (where it gets...
whoa! congratulations you fast #$@^^*(&^*&^!!! i took two days to circumscribe minarets last weekend and thought i was going at a decent clip, but you were...
great shot from agassiz a week ago should give a good indication of snow levels....that is, until the storm that just passed over the Bay Area hits the...
Yeah, go tup there and found out snow was too much for what we were planning so went and ran up White and still encountered snow but such a mellow mountain I ...
The few weak storms that passed over the state in the last few weeks dropped only a modest amount of snow in the Sierra from what I can tell. I was in Kings...
It has been nice. Got snowed on at Convict Lake Oct 12th but gave Laurel, Bloody, and Morrison a nice dusting that enhanced their photogenic profiles. The...
The weather is supposed to be nice this week - I might try to head up to the Bishop area this weekend to give Mount Johnson a try if I can get through the...
While we can certainly use more water, I'm not sure if you can contribute the lake level to the drought. Many of the man-made lakes in the higher elevations of...
Sure, I agree. But in past years they haven't drained it nearly so much--the spillway was always near the top. This indicates they had to dig deep to keep...
Wow! Far cry from the past. <http://gallery.outel.org/ConnessDanaSaddlebag/2f022_040> Aug 2002, and the water was low then. --On Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:43...
Matthew and I went out to duplicate Michael Graupe's fine dayhike of these two peaks yesterday out of the the Florence Lake TH. We didn't leave the Bay Area...
I hiked from South Lake to Mount Johnson yesterday – I went up/down the SE slope – a lot more big rocks/boulders to deal with than I had expected. The sky...
Does anybody know if road closed signs are up for the roads to South and/or North lakes?? Im considering hiking to Mt Lamarck out of North Lake on 11/3...
Matthew and I climbed Pyramid Peak in Kings Canyon out of Cedar Grove/Roads End yesterday on a beautiful November day. It was about 40F at the 2am start, not...
Matthew, Steve, and I went out to Florence Lake yesterday to climb Mt. Hooper, a peak Matthew and I gave up on after climbing Mt. Senger a few weeks earlier....
I drove out yesterday to climb Foerster Peak yesterday from the Isberg Pass TH. It was yet another beautiful day in the Sierra, cold in the early morning hours...
Pretty area, A backpack trip with friends took me over Blue Lake Pass (the shoulder of Forester) in 2002. I am not familar with Beasore Road; but on my A....
I need to make a correction to Bob's report. I didn't do Foerster as a dayhike. I took some light overnight gear and after climbing Foerster, I continued on to...
