End of 2007 - Minarets

After out hike to the Grand Canyon in the spring, we headed back to the Sierras in September to hike with Mike and Lucy again. This time we had planned to do part of the Roper High Sierras Route as described by Doyle Donahoo on his website Sierrattrails.com; great Sierras hiking web site...please donate some money to him if you enjoy reading about hiking in the high sierras.

We started at Devil's Postpile and hiked west to near the Minarets (great book about Starr dying on Clyde Minaret "Lost in the Minarets"). Lucy and Mike made it up to Nancy Pass on a day hike, Nancy and I spent that day hiking into the Beck Lakes drainage. We ate trout from Superior Lake and had another great trip although it started out snowy and cold - it turned into a beautiful Indian Summer in the High Sierras.
