Unfortunately, my original plans to backpack Bishop Pass this weekend fell apart at the last minute... but that didn’t stop me from traveling to the edge of the earth on a quick day trip to Lone Pine yesterday. Often overshadowed by its big sister Mt. Whitney, the hike to Lone Pine Lake is nothing short of grand, granite-filled, and brutal (man, those switchbacks coming down to the Portal never seem get easier with time... or a shorter distance!). Finished the day off with a Whitney burger and a beer, and I couldn’t have imagined a better quick escape on a Sunday!
It’s actually insane to me how quickly this summer flew by. Holding onto these fleeting moments of summer this weekend before this area starts turning golden! 🍁
Hiding out from the wind... and this was before it picked up to 40-50 mph! 😳
For someone who has probably camped over 100 nights in her life, this was, hands down, one of the most beautiful campsites I’ve ever had. Oh, Southern California, you never cease to amaze me! 💕
I said I would never do Gorgonio again, but I’m already having trail amnesia 🙃 the Vivian Creek trail completely shows off the diversity of Southern California’s beautiful flora and fauna. To see oaks, redwoods, and then to be above the tree line all in one trail was such a treat. Almost made the climb up 5500 feet bearable... almost 😂I (wait no plz don’t make me do this trail ever again)
Two words: retirement hike.
