Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2013 10:24 pmBump because fall is not over, at least not last weekend above Hope Valley on the way to Armstrong Pass.
Now back into my hole until snow falls.

Lots of leaf-peeping alternatives around Hope Valley, including some at lower elevations if leaves have fallen where we were.

Almost too pretty to ruin by stepping on it.
Heading up Mono Pass Peak today. Beautiful and not a soul in sight or hearing.

Yes, it's still Autumn - even with 2" of fresh snow in the Buttermilks.
Re: Autumn in the Sierra
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 8:43 pmWe were thankful to find a little late autumn snow at Courtright, Dinkey Lakes Wilderness, and Kaiser Wilderness before this week's deep freeze and additional snow.
Into the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness...
...onward to Kaiser Loop Trail and Peak...
...and then southward to Thanksgiving we went.
Despite less snow, automobile access to Jennie Lakes Wilderness was basically limited to the General's Highway with the gate to Big and Horse Corral Meadows locked. A quick post-Thanksgiving hike to view the Silliman Crest was still within easy reach from Stoney Creek.
