| no partners | | took a day to do some easy hikes and sightseeing in the park.
nice mellow trail with cool waterfall at the end. definitely way more people than the previous two days but not overbearing at all. chilled for a bit at the waterfall. on the way back we found a primo swimming hole in the creek and spent some time there. sierra is always up for a good swimming hole! chatted with, then hiked out with, a couple of very nice dudes from toronto |

| no partners | | | Quick warm up hike after setting up base camp at Lodgepole Campground before heading to Pear Lake. Very pretty walk through the forest following the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River upstream to the end of the Tokopah Valley. Lots of squirrels running around. The trail goes to the end of the valley where the river drops down from the high country as Tokopah Falls. The falls were nearly completely dry with just a small trickle coming down the granite wall. The On the opposite side of the river near the end of the trail is The Watchtower, an impressive granite formation with sheer vertical walls that stands over 1500' above the valley. |
