Off the beaten path to check out two "locals only" spots in the Silver Lake area. First up, Machado Postpiles, a huge, strange blob of brown diabase hexagonal columns thrust up amid a sea of white granite. Then back over the dam and a bit west on Highway 88 to check out Emigrant Wall, a beautiful, clean, low-angle granite face offering easy/moderate 3-pitch bolted and trad routes. About 5mi/1000'/3hrs hike for Machado and 3.5mi/1000'/1.5hrs for E Wall.

Big THANK YOU to our awesome Veterans!

No disasters befell, just a fine CW loop in Carson-Iceberg Wilderness. North on Disaster Creek to Paradise Valley > east to PCT > west + south on Boulder Lake > west on Clark Fork. Good flowing water on all trail segments. Very good trail conditions except Boulder Lake, which is steep, rugged and little used or maintained, mostly easy to follow but tricky in spots.

It can be fun to explore obscure / little used trails provided that 1) you're pretty sure the trail existed at some point and 2) you have a GPS route for when things get tricky. Put together a CCW lasso from the Gardner Meadow trailhead near the Highland Lakes taking the PCT south then looping back on three rarely used trails. Depending on the maps and junction markers, the three trails may have been Asa Lakes, Elder Creek, Murray Canyon, Wolf Creek or "To PCT". A fine area with views and lots of flowing creeks around the loop, and the vast majority of trails were easy to follow. Gotta do something about those dang cows though.

Brought the mountain bike to save some boring road walking, ditched it about half way in and hiked the rest of the way. Several other bikers rode/pushed almost to the summit. Calm, pleasant day. Spent a very worthwhile hour at the Patriarch Grove on the way out. The 16 miles (each way) rocky dirt road made for very tedious driving.

Horsetail Falls
Partners none no partners
Excellent steep continuous climb from the Rocky Canyon start on US highway 50. The lower third is through a recent burn zone (2021 Caldor Fire), the middle third is through healthy forest, the upper third is above treeline with a final 500' of scree to the peak. Even with the fire damage the trail is clear and easy to follow. NOTE: The start of the trail is unmarked and difficult to see driving by, and the closest parking is a small pulloff on the south side of the highway about 50 yards west of the trail start.

From the summit I wandered east and down past Gefo, Toem and Ropi Lakes then descended along Pyramid Creek and Horsetail Falls. Short highway walk to close the loop.

Solid lasso route in an area of Yosemite I hadn't been to, thanks to chumley and John9L for the inspiration. Up from Wawona, did the loop clock-wise with a direct climb to BV Peak (Class 2) from the west side of BV Lake. Still pretty green and enough water to keep hydrated and cool, good trails except for one stretch of pretty bad overgrowth and downed trees in an old burn zone. Saw as many bears (4, a solitary black-hair and a brown-hair momma with two cubbies) as backpackers.

Very nice CCW lasso: Up Eagle Falls to the PCT > north to Middle Velma > west on 17E34 into Rockbound Valley > south along lovely Rubicon River and over Mosquito Pass back to the PCT > north up and over "Richard's" Pass > return. Even with the crowds Desolation never disappoints.

Huckleberry Trail - Stanislaus NF
Partners none no partners
Another excellent lasso into Emigrant Wilderness. Steady climb up past Kennedy Lake and continuing on unofficial but well-worn trail over 10,800' Big Sam and then down into lovely High Emigrant and Emigrant Meadows Lakes basin, return past Relief Reservoir. Lots of water and wildflowers, especially lupine.

KM is a very busy place, from the official trailhead parking lot its a nearly 2 mile road walk to the wilderness boundary and actual start of the trail (I mountain biked to the start). KM is also a popular start for horsepacking trips, and lots of cows are grazed in the meadows below Kennedy Lake.

Fantastic mountain biking in the Soquel Demonstration State Forest just north of Nisene Marks State Park. The crown jewel is the 3+ mile Flow Trail, an impeccably constructed and maintained thrill ride carving down a mountainside through pristine redwood forest. The standard Flow Trail route is accessed by a steady 1000' climb on paved and/or dirt fire roads, descend 2000' of singletrack, then climb back up 1000' on fire road to the start.

The Demo can be accessed via Aptos Creek Trail from the south, but the primary access (which I used) is from the north via Summit Road and Highland Way. There are a few other trails in the Demo, including the black diamond Braille Trail. Hikers and equestrians are also permitted, but interactions between 2-wheeled, 2-legged and 4-legged visitors could get ugly.

Many thanks to @Oregon_Hiker for posting on this excellent area. Worked out a nice lasso route by using the no-longer-maintained but well used and mostly obvious trail up to and over Virginia Pass into Yosemite NP. Superb scenery, quality trails, no crowds, great car camping.
