Capture California, the Game-2013
Adventure: 005, Hike 041-Day
22 of the JMT
Team: YOLT
Date: July 16, 2013
Location: Sequoia National Park
Hike Info:
Trail: John Muir Trail from Tyndale
Frog Ponds To Guitar Lake
Distance: 10.6 miles
Duration: 5:09 Moving
Elevation Rise: 1,397'
Description:
Today should be somewhat of an easy day-no passes to climb over. By now, we are ready to make it back to civilization. So we want to be in position to climb Whitney tomorrow. First order of business is to traverse the Bighorn Plateau. From here, we get our first good glimpse of Whitney, even seeing the hut on top. We cross Wright and Wallace Creeks, meeting up with the High Sierra Trail from Giant Forest. Then it is on to Crabtree Meadows. This is our final leg up to Guitar Lake, our campsite for the night. It is a thousand foot climb up and we are tired and hot by the time we pull in. See our blog for more.

(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.)
