in Hiking
As explained in the flight to Pine Mountain Lake, after Jennifer's knee injury that kept us home for a while, I figured we should do some hiking in the Sierras. I found the very nice Cub Inn Bed and Breakfast, owned by two pilots, and by Pine Mountain Lake, at the foot of the Sierras.
The great thing for pilots is that the very nice owners will pick you up at the airport and lend you their jeep so that you can get around and get to see a little bit more than just Pine Mountain Lake itself (which is actually a nice place, but there is more to see in the Sierras than just that).
The next morning, we drove to Hetch Hetchy for some hiking:
Thankfully, on the 5th, there weren't many people, so we almost had the trail to ourselves.
The next morning, we drove to Hetch Hetchy for some hiking:
reservoir was overflowing to say the least...
the overflow relief was spewing big time
As far as the rangers let us go, just short of the first waterfall.
That's a slightly faster way back than the trail :)
Thankfully, on the 5th, there weren't many people, so we almost had the trail to ourselves.
And we finally got to Glacier Point
