Great report! That's one of my favorite loops, although I do it C. Grove to East lake first day and agree with the ranger's advice to skip Deerhorn Saddle. Your enthusiasm is well placed! For someone with no Sierra experience you chose a marvelous route.

Wow. Thank you for the kind replies. That first leg was definitely something special, something I'll never forget. I had a little free time this week, so I got the next leg posted.

It's a lot of fun to read this and follow your story and look at the photos. I'm amazed you found the strength to do this hike with the giardia and lack of nourishment some days. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

This is such an enjoyable read and wonderful photos. I’m have a great time following along on your saga. I love the lake names you and Jen came up with (Awesome, Mean, Cover, etc.). Thanks for sharing your experience.
