| no partners | | roughly 14 years ago this hike changed my life. Michelle and I did this on a whim the first time we visited Sequoia, and while i was already definitely into hiking, what i saw back then for the first time (not long after moving from indiana) inspired me in ways i never imagined possible. fast forward some 16 thousand miles later and here we are. ready to share it with my daughter.
i was somewhat surprised and thrilled beyond words everyone wanted to do the whole thing. i was originally planning on us hiking out to the first lake, Heather Lake. it was a perfectly gorgeous day and they wanted to hike them all. Everything was as great as i remembered.
michelle doesn't usually like to go much over 10 miles at a pop, but she totally will for a classic like this. sierra was fired up and wanted to do something "very wildernessy"... 
wonderful day. very proud of Sierra for crushing her first big mountain hike. i told her 99% of adults in the park wouldn't even try this hike. we only saw a few people all day. goofy marmot at pear lake provided entertainment for a very scenic lunch |
