Emigrant Wilderness

Emigrant Wilderness 
I celebrated my 77th birthday backpacking with Mark and my dog Sierra in the Emigrant wilderness August 2016 . the weather was great and the vistas beautiful . We met a lot of beautiful folks and Sierra made many friends .  We accessed from Modesto Ca. via hwy 108  , obtained permits at Pine Crest ranger station . Water is plentiful along rout to Emigrant Lake . One letter of water at any time .
The elevation gain is moderate at best .

Cerro Alto and Interesting People

Sunday July 31 st on Cerro Alto 
I met this beautiful couple hiking the mountain , 
Samantha and Andy from Laguna  Hills Ca. 
I hope I got the information as my recorder malfunctioned at  the summit due to high wind . 
Late afternoon weather was beautiful with temperatures in the upper 70s after 5 PM. 
H enjoyed hiking with this couple and sharing local ;geographical and trail information .

They both enjoyed Sierra ( my dog ) and that always warms my heart !
