I'm heading out tomorrow morning (Tuesday, Aug 25) for a week. I'm taking the North Lake / South Lake loop, which takes me over Piute Pass, down Piute Canyon to the John Muir Trail/PCT, which I will follow through Evolution Valley. I'll head up over Muir Pass, then through LeConte Canyon, and hop off the JMT/PCT at the Dusy Branch junction to head north up to Dusy Basin, then over Bishop Pass, and back down to South Lake.
I'm really grateful that I don't have to leave the county to have these adventures. With nonessential travel discouraged, I haven't been going anywhere outside Inyo county since March, and that's a real drag. Couldn't visit my son in Portland to watch him graduate college, or travel back East to drop off my daughter at college in Swarthmore, PA, and no visits to friends in the Midwest. At least I've got a big backyard in the Sierra to enjoy.
See y'all in a week or so. Hopefully I'll have some decent photos to share, too.
