Not a great nights sleep. Really wanted to make it yesterday but we start at 6 am so that we can do the 1200 foot climb ahead of us while it is cool. Here are some pictures of the sun coming up just before we start hiking.

Nice thing about the scenery is that you just have to stop while you are climbing to take pictures. It is not that you are tired. It is not that you can’t catch your breath. Rather, it is that you want to take a picture. Here are some of the Kearsarge Lakes.

We took the Bullfrog Lake Trail and here is where it joins the Kearsarge Pass Trail.

Kearsarge Pass is right up there somewhere

We get to the pass and now we have 4 miles to descend to Onion Valley where Lenora is going to pick us up.

We are descending into the desert but there is no lack of beauty on the west side of the High Sierra’s. Here are some pictures on the way down.
