This was another area unknown to us until recently. One of the exciting aspects of Hike-About is discovery, particularly, places off the beaten-track rather than well frequented national and state parks. Don't get us wrong. Many of the parks are magnificent and others terrific but during the season, it can be trying when trying for peace and serenity. On this latest trip in the Eastern Sierras including the Desolation Wilderness, and other parts near Lake Tahoe, both in California and Nevada, we came across some gems. Most of the destinations were tucked away up steep slopes on mountains and often culminating in alpine lakes. We certainly could not estimate the number of treasures one can feast upon in a short period.
Rough mountains, steep slopes. In the background, sits Pyramid Peak, Mount Ralston and Tallac, climbs made from the other side.
Ditto.
Not yet half-way.
Some interesting opportunities on volcanic rock.
A particularly good path in this section although of scree.
Makes the hiking even more worthwhile.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
