This was my favorite hike of my trip to Tuolumne Meadows. Thunderstorms threatened all afternoon, but I never received anything other than some sprinkles. The hike was much more difficult than the statistics may indicate because of its high elevation. The trail head is at 9,600' and the ultimate destination, Mono Pass, is at 10,600'.
I saw whitebark pines and the associated Clark's nutcracker for the first time so that was cool. It was weird seeing wildflowers after Labor Day, but the crazy huge winter we had in California has apparently thrown the Sierra Nevada's biological calendar out of whack.
Overall, a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

Carolyn and I pushed off from the trailhead around 10:00 with the temperature at 61 degrees. This is a very pretty trail with a gradual climb and a few switchbacks. We jumped a young deer and met quite a few backpackers along the way that were heading down south of Parker Pass. On the way down we enjoyed the company of a local young lady who provided us some good information on local trails and other scenic opportunities. The hike came in at 7.3 miles with 1,100 feet of AEG in 3 hours and 20 minutes.
