Eastern Sierras and White Mountains, July 2011
My friend Jenny and I have been hiking around in the Sierras for several years. We usually rent a cabin near Mammoth, like up at Lake Mary or Lake George. But now that we bought the trailer, we've got a cabin on wheels! We started this trip near Yosemite. We hiked around Saddlebag Lake and the 20 Lakes Basin. My iphone died up there, so no pictures. Then we headed over to the White Mountains and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. We stayed at Grandview campground, and hiked up to the top of White Mountain, which is the third highest peak in California, at 14,246 feet. The trailhead is at 12,000 feet, so it's not as hard as you might think. Still, it's a good, long hike! Then from there we headed over to Lake Sabrina, and hiked around up in the Bishop Creek Recreation area. Words don't do it justice. Neither do pictures, really. I'd never hiked here before, and I really fell in love with it. It's always a weird shock to the system to go home to LA after being in all this beauty!
