Capture California, the Game-2013
Adventure: 005, Hike 038-Day
19 of the JMT
Team: YOLT
Date: July 13, 2013
Location:
Rae Lakes
Hike Info:
Trail: John Muir Trail from Woods
Creek To Rae Lakes
Distance: 6.8 miles
Duration: 4:24 Moving
Elevation Rise: 2,053'
Description:
This is a “rest” day for us. Usually a rest day says you may do a day hike, enjoy some leisure activity, and sleep in. We did sleep in, but we decided to keep going as we are a bit uncertain about our food supply. Also it will help out with the next day. Besides Rae Lakes are calling, probably the most majestic lakes along the Trail. While the mileage is shorter, we still do a 2,000' climb. We meet some several people who are doing the Rae Lakes loop-a Ukrainian family and a couple of Korean friends from the Bay Area. All of this makes for a pleasant walk. We get too the Rae Lakes in mid-afternoon and enjoy a pleasant afternoon break. Read more in our 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.)
