Grand Summer Hike 2010
A somewhat-blurry gallery of photos from my GSH in Sequoia National Park July 30 - August 7. My route was from Mineral King over Farewell Gap, over to the Shotgun Creek drainage and then cross-country into Laurel Basin, an in-depth exploration of Laurel Basin and then exiting north to Rattlesnake Creek, descending into Kern Canyon. From there I passed by Kern Hot Spring, went up the Canyon to the Colby Pass trail, went into the upper reaches of the Kern Kaweah River drainage, tried to get into the Picket Creek basin (intending to continue into Kaweah Basin) but turned back as I didn't find a safe route. I returned via Kern Canyon, Sky Parlor Meadow, Moraine Lake, Little Five & Big Five Lakes, and Sawtooth Pass. Amazing trip!
