July/August 2012 Southern Sierra Nevada
Barry, Bill, Bob, Gene, Reid and Tom backpacked about 160 miles in the southern Sierra Nevada over 13 days. The first 8 days took them north on the Pacific Crest Trail from Walker Pass in the high desert at the edge of the Mojave to Wallace Creek north of Crabtree Meadows in alpine meadows in the shadow of Mt. Whitney. Half through this stretch they resupplied at Kennedy Meadows, where Bill had to stop because of injuries. At Wallace Creek the group headed west into the interior of Sequoia National Park to traverse the mighty Kern Canyon and ascend Rattlesnake Canyon to Franklin Pass before finishing at Mineral King in the midst of giant trees.
