Adventure: 220, Post 02 - Facebook Friday, Bag a Peak
Team: YOLT
Date: August 9, 2013
Location: Buena Vista Peak, Kings Canyon
Description:Today's Facebook Friday is to go out and bag a peak. There are several 1000'+ peaks around us. But they can be hot and pretty dry, plus during the summer they are rattlesnake habitat. So we decided to go a little high and climb a peak in Kings Canyon.
The peak we chose was Buena Vista Peak. It is a 7,605' peak with a fairly short trail. One which is good for a sunset hike. That is what we did and we were not disappointed with the hike or the view-of course, what would you expect from a peak which is called Good View?
Well we have been up here several times. Once when it was pretty smoggy; another time when it was enveloped in a cloud-that was fun. But today with the smoke from fires, the sky was a nice pinkish red. Enjoyable.
