Wow -- that is lucky, since the Hardin Lake fire was fully contained the day I started my trip. Of course, even when that one was going it didn't close off the canyon. Well, you know the lyrics... iron wants to rust and wood wants to burn. -- Richardby MrRedwood - General Discussion
I suspect most folks are using the slideshow option, which means they miss all the advanced options on the regular page, such as zoom, show in Google Maps, and the "I like this" and Comment portions. The integration with Google Maps is pretty cool -- you can see thumbnails of all the photos laid out against the map, and click through them in sequence. You can also look at them in Goby MrRedwood - General Discussion
Actually, when I encouraged comments on the photos, I actually meant on the photo's pages -- there's room for comments down at the bottom. But here's okay, too....by MrRedwood - General Discussion
Quotephotohiker Wow! Your photos are great and the descriptions are amazing--I feel like I was there. My favorite photo is #75--the trail through the trees going to the lake. It really draws you in. Thanks for sharing. Actually, that trail was muddy enough it really did draw you in... or, rather, down.by MrRedwood - General Discussion
Quotetomdisco Richard, What are the structures on the cliff side in photo # 15? Or am I seeing things that are not really there? Jim You're imagining things. :-) If you zoom in it is more apparent -- just a jumble of stains from minerals and lichen.by MrRedwood - General Discussion
Trip report done as a Picasaweb photo album. See the photo album here, or see the pictures spread across a Google map here. Comments on the photos are enthusiastically welcome -- it's always nice to see that people are at least looking at the results of all that effort! -- Richardby MrRedwood - General Discussion
It was a great trip. I turned it into a fifty-miler (50-at-50, since this also "celebrated" my fiftieth birthday earlier in July), also the return side of the loop being the Ten Lakes trail. Took four days, although I was pushing my limits the first two. As a solo hiker starting on a Sunday, I probably could have gotten onto any trail in the park, so where I started wasn't about thatby MrRedwood - General Discussion
The route goes all the way to White Wolf Lodge, according to both the map and the schedule. The lodge is a scheduled stop.by MrRedwood - General Discussion
I'm mostly ambivalent about whether I go east or west. Yeah, the west-to-east route has more uphill, but after thirty-plus years of backpacking, I've long since decided that going uphill is often easier than going downhill. And overall the elevation change is only 750 feet or so, I believe. The crucial factor is the YARTS schedule. If I camp near or inside the park boundary (or even just getby MrRedwood - General Discussion
Hi, I'm hoping to do a solo trip this weekend somewhere where there is granite and fast flowing water. My preference is the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, starting from the White Wolf trailhead (see likely trail here). Unfortunately, page four of the Trailheads Report seems to be broken (page three is fine, but I get a blank page for the next page). So I've got a few questions: Anyone knowby MrRedwood - General Discussion
