| Gary at Jct of the Middle Fork of the Kings |
Adventure: 005, Hike 035-Day
16 of the JMT
Team: YOLT
Date: July 10, 2013
Location:
Lower Palisades Lake
Hike Info:
Trail: John Muir Trail from Le Conte
Station To Lower Palisades Lake
Distance: 10.3 miles
Duration: 5:52 Moving
Elevation Rise: 2,546'
Description:
The day starts out clear, but around 10 a front comes through. By the time we reach our camp, we have gotten rained on. We head down towards the junction with the Palisades Creek and the Middle Fork of the Kings. Then it is a long slog up Palisades Creek. But there are moments of goodness. Such as talking with a trail crew or having a break with Larry and Paul. But the Golden Staircase will take out whatever energy you have, that is until you get to Palisades Lake. Not much of a campspot, we that is compensated for by camping with some trail friends. For more, read out blog.

(As
a note: As of Oct 31st, the blog entries has not been edited, nor
pictures added for Days 15 through 24 of our JMT experience. We hope
to have that done sometime in November--I said it would be done in
August so do not hold your breath.)
