| no partners | | | I took this hike with a buddy from work. We both wanted a summit trail and this one was close. We started at the Madera Canyon campground and took the Madera Canyon trail up to Josephine Saddle. We decided that we didn't want to summit until the following day so we hiked down the josephine Canyon trail in search of some old cabin ruins my buddy wanted to see. About 3 miles down the trail we gave up on the ruins and decided to backtrack to the saddle to camp. The following day we summited on the super trail. Since we were coming back through the saddle we left our packs there and took only a day pack up to the summit. It was a good hike and not too steap. We made good time and only got passed once (by a 70 year old man with a full overnight pack)! My profile picture is from the summit where there is a killer view and the ruins of an old look out tower. After we took pics and rested we returned back down the super trail, got our packs, and hiked out to the car. For those that like summit hikes I would recommend this one. Backpackers bring lots of water...we found both listed natural springs dry!! Ofcourse this is expected in may. |
