Day 121

Miles hiked: 20
Campsite: Dorothy lake
Weather: more 70s and sunny!
One word to describe the day: sierra!!

I got a great night's sleep thanks to niquil! I got pancakes and bacon before I headed back on trail. It was $50 to stay at Kennedy Meadows North resort. But that included a bed, shower, laundry, wifi and a ride to the trailhead in the morning! They were so nice there. Highly recommend. It felt like I was in a western movie. With real cowboy/girls and all!

The first part of the hike was so beautiful but also challenging! I was around some other hikers but we were all hiking at different speeds so I lost them throughout the day. We had some snow crossings that were fine but I had to slow down for them. The middle of the day was calm and easy. And then the last part of the day was mosquito hell. I was literally running and still couldn't get away from them. But I'm officially in Yosemite wilderness! Very excited. Hopefully the mosquitos are better tomorrow 😓. Tonight I am camping at Dorothy lake with another hiker I met a few weeks ago but haven't seen since. Her name is ditcher 🤪.Read more
