My Miter Basin Backpacking trip & Arc Pass Hike
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 12:41 pm
I returned last Friday from a wonderful 5 day backpacking trip into the Miter Basin! This was my second time to this area. It is very beautiful back in there. We had perfect weather, warm days & cool nights.
We day hiked up to Arc Pass on our one layover which to me was the highlight of my trip!
I had hoped to get to a few peaks in the area, but that did not happen this time
On our second day hiking in, we meant two wonderful ladies, one was the wife that lost her husband and son last year at Sandy Meadows with the Boy Scoot Troop to a lightening storm. They were hiking out & just had a 1 year memorial service back at Sandy Meadows in the honor of all of them. It was pretty emotional for us all listening, we all gave her a hug and had some tears that day. I do not have Children, but I can't even imagine what she has gone through, my friend Gay lost her son, so she could really relate. What a strong brave women she is to be out there in the honor of them all.
Drove back to Tahoe in a pretty bad storm..we were very lucky with the weather on this trip
I added a link to my pictures of my trip if anyone is interested, hope I get the link on here okay http://community.webshots.com/album/552924585VcxwOA
