Well, whatever the numbers are, we will also go by how we feel. Being later in the season things will look a bit different up close, but that grandeur is a constant. MRogers thanks again! SSSDAVE, thanks for the info on gps use. My husband's gps and my Earthmate and Alpine Quest apps never seem to agree. I now have a better understanding of why.

Video of Rae Lakes Backpacking trip, 7/30 - 8/3/16

Post by MRrogers »

All, I previously posted a trip report of my backpacking trip to the Rae Lakes area from August 2016 and now I am posting a link to a video I made of the trip. Hope you all find it to be enjoyable to watch and don't forget to crank up the volume.

Cool video thanks for sharing. :)

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Maverick, I posted my topic on the backpacking section but it does not seem to show up. Can you help me? Where did you find my posting on HST?

I love to read about and see photos of places I've been. I like to see how different things look through another lens. Since I can't go back to all of my favorite places, I like to see TR's about them. Thanks for a good one.

I merged your old thread with the new one as it was a continuation of the same report. Scroll up/click on the previous or page 1 links to find the original TR. :thumbsup:

Maverick, ok but for me seems too hard to find my new posting and it would be better as a stand alone posting.

One of the most beautiful areas in the Sierra. I went there three times but never saw the lake (s) in the middle. I did you trip on two with Mike (age 7 & 11). We came in from kearsarge and exited over baxter.
