| Sequoia national park was having free admission for veterans day so I made a day trip up there. Lots of snow but thankfully none on the trail. | |

| missymtngirl | First 11,000 foot peak!...yeah...yeah....yeah | |
| After our road trip we were on a high (or at least I was), and we decided to up the ante by climbing our first 11,000 ft peak. We were greeted by the usual suspects...those cute, furry, somewhat annoying marmots. | |

| KVHiker | Alta Watchtower Loop Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2008 | |
| Our trail led us up to through Panther Pass and then around Tharps Rock to the summit. We continued down from Alta Peak to Pear Lake, Aster Lake, Emerald Lake, Heather Lake, the Watchtower, and then down to Wolverton which is where we parked. The trip was between 15-17 miles with an elevation gain between 4000 and 5000 feet, and it took us about 11 hours to complete the loop trip. Photos | |

| Great way to start 2009 backpacking with my wife and her cousin and summit the next day. Trail sometimes hard to follow from Panther Gap to camp at Mehrteh Meadow with the snow- and very enjoyable trip. | |

| Camped at the edge of the beautiful Alta meadow. Summited with great visibility -- could see Whitney. The views from the top makes me want to visit the Kaweahs. | |

| selinunte01 | Alta Peak Trail and Lakes Trail Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2008 | |
| Great dayhike, starting from Wolverton via Panther Gap and Alta Peak Trail. Cloudy day with some thunderstorms in the High Sierra which - thank god - did not affect us. Descent from the summit via northeast ridge and down to Pear Lake with some class 2 / 3 scramble. We used the Lakes Trail from Pear Lake back to Wolverton. | |

| I went with you on that trip in December. My roommate and I are heading back up toward Alta Peak Thanksgiving weekend for a few days. We're getting ready for a Rainier trip that we scheduled through RMI in March. Let me know if you are around that weekend... | |

| Nefsek | Winter attempt Date Climbed: Dec 28, 2007 | |
| Attempted with basic mountaineering course back in December 07. Avalanche conditions were iffy, so we ended up summiting the peaklet right next to it. Still had some great views. | |

| Michael Graupe | From Wolverton via Panther Gap Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2008 | |
| Easy half day walk. Saw two bear cubs climbing around on a tree. I did wonder where mama bear was though. Views weren't great since it was so smokey. | |

| Three of us did Alta Peak from the the alta peak trail and then down the scree to Pear Lake. Took a dip in the lake and hiked back out via the Lakes trail. Long day, but really worth it! | |

| Bonesaw | Got Engaged On Alta Peak Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2007 | |
| Told Emy that we were just going out for a day hike to Alta Peak. By the time we topped out, all that she could think about was food. I knealed down and stuck my hand in my pack. She thought I was getting our lunch, but instead my hand emerged from the pack with an engagement ring. She was totally surprised, but quickly said YES! | |
