VoyageurLove that you are there. Forrester Pass was always one of my favourite gateways into the Sierra! And now you get Sierra lakes to swim in and smooth Sierra granite slabs to sleep on. Yay!

Questionable decisions on Pinchot Pass
2 juillet, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
Just one of those days where it was hard to make the right decision. The grey clouds had been coming and going all day. The weather report through my Garmin said some rain at 4pm, thunderstorms fromEn savoir plus

Ice axe at the ready. Have you needed to use it much? Or it's just in case you need to arrest yourself from a slide?

Better weather for mountain passes

I was working with old information. The 4:45pm ferry I was gunning for now leaves at 3:45pm. I missed it by 15 minutes.
As luck would have it, an older gentleman on the JMT also missed it but wasEn savoir plus

VoyageurSince you are up above timber-line, I think that’s a Ptarmigan. They are in the same family but grouse stay low. Ptarmigan feathers will go white before winter sets in.
Silver Pass

This one was a slog.
I have spent the last three days in turbo mode after realizing I'd miscalculated food for this section. I had to get to VVR a day earlier than planned or risk running out ofEn savoir plus
