| Excellent winter outing with Bob, with great views and perfect weather the whole day. We started from the frontage road along I-80, hiked along Eagle Lakes Road and the Beyers Lake trail, and made our way up to the SW Ridge. Hiked along there to the summit, a very short but fun scramble. There were outstanding views of the Sierra Buttes, English Mtn, and the rest of the Northern Sierra. Descended the SE side past Wagon Wheel Lake to tag Old Man Mtn, and after an interesting and eventually brushy descent off Old Man, we slipped and slid our way along miles of ice along an abandoned jeep trail back to the car. |
