Mount Lincoln, Anderson Peak, and Tinker Knob via the PCT. Started at Donner Peak Trailhead / Summit Haus near Sugar Bowl Ski Resort (7:45am start). 2.70 miles and 1,290 ft elevation gain to Mount Lincoln. 7.25 total miles and 2,430 total elevation gain to Anderson Peak. 8.67 total miles and 2,980 ft total elevation gain to Tinker Knob. 16.5 total miles and 3,640 ft total elevation gain to Squaw Valley village via descent on the Granite Chief Trail (4,500 ft total elevation loss). Party of 5. Took Chris, Nate, and myself just under 4 hrs and 58 min to reach the Village. Weather was sunny with only one patch of snow to traverse shortly after Mount Lincoln.

It’s 8 miles here on the Granite Chief and PCT, not the 7 in the route description. 2nd peak of the day after Anderson.

Dayhike
The main target of the day, peak 2 of 5 from Lake Mary TH.
Just guessing at the date - climbed this way back when I was in grad school at Berkeley. Memorable because there were thunderclouds looming, and when we went to shake hands, sparks arced between our fingertips. We came down fast...

Nice dayhike on the Granite Chief trail out of Squaw Valley. Was a fairly popular destination as there were ~10 people up on the peak just in the 40ish minutes I was there.

After climbing Granite Chief with Tommey (and doing English in the morning). The rerouted trail added unexpected time and mileage to the hike.

Hazy views
Came up via the PCT, over Anderson then up to Tinker Knob. This was during the height of the Rim Fire in Yosemite, so views and the air quality were both poor. TR is HERE

From Cabin Creek Road
This was the 5th Peak my wife and I climbed during our vacation in northern Tahoe. We drove high up Cabin Creek Road and hiked up to the PCT from there. We first summitted Anderson Peak, then did Tinker Knob on the way back.
