I joined BobR and his group for a dayclimb of Corkscrew Peak. This was my 5th ascent of this beautiful peak, but by a new route each way that I had not done

Onion Valley Snowshoeing - Girlz day out!

Rachel, Moose Tracks and Snow Nymph got together to snowshoe at Onion Valley. Awesome snow and perfect weather for a great day in the mountains! After, I drove to Mammoth to spend the rest of the holidays with SnowDude, starting with a party later that night.

Snowboarded for the next 3 days, but on Monday, Mammoth Mtn was windy and crowded so after a few runs we left.
Day 4: High Desert
Monday, 24 December 2007
Mono Lake Tufa and Panum Crater

Seemed like a lot of roads were closed (June Lake Loop and Hwy 120 east), so I hiked what I could. Walked around the Tufa Towers, but GPS said 1.5 mi. so I headed over to Panum Crater and hiked the 3 high points, which added another 2 miles.
