Day hiked to LeConte Point (6,388 feet) on Saturday, a superb view point at the East end of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in North Western Yosemite. It proved to be a strenuous day—17 miles and 7,500 feet of climbing. The hardest part, however, is the time limit: The entrance to Hetch Hetchy is only open from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. (the gate is locked after 5). Fortunately, the first 7.5 miles are on good trail followed by a mile of class 2 & 3 cross country. If I keep this up, I might be in shape in time for Bob’s August Sufferfest
