California Sierra Hikes
California Sierras Hiking Trip: 2008
I spent a few glorious days hiking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California (October 2008).
I did 41 trail
miles in the Ansel Adams Wilderness and John Muir Wilderness near Mono Hot Springs and saw absolutely
no one else on the trail the whole time. The highlight
of that was the beautiful Bear Creek Trail, although the Devil's Bathtub Trail and Mono
Creek Trail were also very nice. I then spent a day in Yosemite National Park hiking from
Yosemite Valley up past Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls to Little Yosemite Valley and beyond,
which was another 12 miles or so. I saw quite a number of people (and three bears) on that hike.
The weather was perfect the whole week I was out there and the scenery just blew me away.
The first two rows of pictures are from the Mono Hot Springs area. The bottom row is from
Yosemite NP.
