I figured I could sleep an extra hour if I went to Onion Valley instead of North Lake, so I opted for Dragon Peak instead of Emerson. It was a really beautiful...
Nice work Kathy ! I must have missed you before traversing to Gould later that day. I was trying to follow Shano's 'south chute' route on SP but from looking...
Rob: It's too bad I didn't see you out there on Saturday - it would have been nice to meet you. I was also looking for that South Chute, but I think I cut...
I was moving pretty slowly too - time flies when you're having fun ... should have dropped down further from Dragon initially and as a result spent a lot of...
Heheh .. more than likely Courtney - http://www.summitpost.org/image/373399//the-new-llama-mobile.html Hoping to get out to Red Rocks at some point !...
I'm planning to do Mout Tom via Eldeberry canyon. Does anyone have any current info on the trail as for as bushwacking goes? GOTHERE...Richard [Non-text...
Well it took a few weeks but i finally got my pics posted from my trip Mts Sill and Gayley. Was good weekend, summit day was pretty overcast and we were...
After being away from home all but 2 days of the last 2 weeks with work and play, I find I'm too tired to head to the Sierra this weekend to give Middle...
I wonder if I emailed instead of posted when I last clicked. I guess I just have my momments where I enjoy wallowing in self-pity over my short-comings....
And you don't consume 6000 calories of food just to roll over and get out of bed. (coming from one who does, and is still slow, 12 foot strides and all!) _____...
Robert: It sounds like you and I should go climb a mountain together sometime. Kathy ... get out of bed. (coming from one who does, and is still slow, 12 foot...
Bob - I just enjoy whining and making excuses. As pitiful and problem ridden as I am, I have been able to find my way up a number of mountains to enjoy the...
I believe there are four SPS peaks that have still not been dayhiked: Thunder Mtn Kern Point Wheel Mtn Red Kaweah If anyone would like to join Matthew and I on...
I'm taking my three-year-old kids backpacking next week to May Lake, because they told me they weren't so interested in day hiking Thunder Mountain. I know...
You cannot camp within 1/4 mile of May Lake, except in the established backpacker camp.. it does have it's advantages: piped water & flush toilet. There are...
Thanks for the info. After I posted my message, I realized that might be the case, but I hadn't yet dug out my Yosemite map with camping- forbidden places...
Turns out there are plenty of good reasons why Thunder Mtn hadn't been dayhiked and why it won't become a popular destination for families with small children....
Hi... ... Wow, that's quite some hike :-) I've been lurking on this list for some time --- I always like reading your emails containing tales of crazy hikes...
You can sleep in your car outside the national park. I slept in my car earlier this year at the Deer Cove trailhead, about a mile or two outside SP National...
We just drove in and started hiking, but it turns out you're in luck for cheap camping. Just west of Cedar Grove (about 5mi west of Roads End) is the boundary...
This coming Friday I plan to head to Mt. Henry if anyone is interested in joining. I'll start out of Courtright Reservoir around 2a. It's about 36mi and...
Ok, maybe I'm not getting takers for Mt. Henry because I'm not giving enough lead time. Maybe because it's on a Friday instead of a weekend? Maybe because it...
Wheel is something like 36mi and 10,000ft, maybe 18hrs Kern Point will be about 42mi and 12,000ft, more than 20hrs (!) No shortage of suffering on those bad...
