Day 51 - zero day at Lone Pine
14 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
Part of the fun with this hike is being able to drop in on different towns along the way. Lone Pine is a pretty small town located in the valley by Mt Whitney. I completed all the normal town tasksLeggi altro
Day 52 - back on the trail
15 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
A resupply story:
In the desert, this was a pretty straightforward thing. The trail would intersect a road. You would then stick out your thumb and hitch a ride to the nearest town.
In the Sierras,Leggi altro
Day 53 - mile 809 Glen and Pichot Passes
16 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 48 °F

17 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F

Day 55 - mile 851. Muir Pass
18 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F

Day 56 - mile 876 Seldon pass
20 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
Another day, another mountain pass along with amazing views at every turn. Today was Seldon pass (10,913 ft). This was the easiest pass so far, mostly because there wasn't much snow on eitherLeggi altro
Day 57 - mile 880. Vermilion Valley Ranc
20 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
The trail passes pretty close to a remote 'resort'. It sounded too good to pass by so we decided to take a bit of a detour. To get there, we got up early and started hiking at 5:30am, in order to notLeggi altro

Day 59 - mile 904 Mammoth Lakes
22 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 34 °F

Today is town day. We hikedLeggi altro
Day 60 - zero day

Day 61 - mile 924
24 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

25 giugno, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
