This year's main hike was to Mount Goddard in King's Canyon in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
We went from here (main parking lot, see small square):
to here (Base of Mt. Goddard at Martha Lake):
and back. Total mileage was right at 52 miles for 6 days (really, 4 full days and two partial days).
It was a very challenging trip physically (although interestingly, this is the least sore I have ended a hike in a long time). I am (as usual) still processing things as there were some other challenges and thought provokers that I had not anticipated.
(I now have to figure out how to weave two travel scenarios in and out separately).
For now, I leave you with some additional photos from the hike:
Yowsa! Hiking photos! That's some big sky there.
ReplyDeleteNylon12, there was some amazing scenario. The Sierra Nevada Mountains never disappoint.
DeleteSnow! There is more snow in that one photo then our entire area saw this winter.
ReplyDeleteIndeed John, and we had to cross some of it. From what one of guides said, there is still a fair amount of snow at some of the higher elevations and less sunny locales. Hard to believe it is almost the end of August - another 2 to 3 months and the snows should start again.
DeleteI’m going to have to google up a map on this one. But I’m a maphead anyway so no surprise there.
ReplyDeleteEd, if helpful we started in John Muir Wilderness, hiked over into Kings Canyon, and then back out through John Muir.
DeleteGod was speaking loudly there. Or perhaps He was just smiling broadly that day.
ReplyDeleteWould love to have seen it in actuality; but I can feel it in your pictures.
Thank you, TB.
You all be safe and God bless.
Linda, I really think he was. Almost shouting, as it were.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the pictures. It is always a joy to share them with folks.
Amazing photos TB. Quite a hike, too, I might add.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh. It was quite an adventure.
