Hi everyone,
After struggling to get hotlinks from Google Photos to work in this post, I gave up on Google and uploaded the photos directly to this site. Problem solved, I think. Anyway, on with the TR...
I headed up Meysan Lakes trail to Camp Lake last weekend with my dog, Ozzy. This was our first time on the Meysan Lakes trail. The weather was perfect. The trail was clear of snow to Camp Lake except for a few small patches above 10,000 feet.
We stayed at the Whitney Portal Campground the night before. Getting up at sunrise, I couldn't pass up a classic shot of Mt. Whitney in the morning light.
I always smile when I pass these signs, especially when I see snow-covered peaks ahead on the trail. Good times are ahead!
Ozzy waiting for me to catch up so we can visit Grass Lake, which is behind and below him in this picture.
After visiting Grass Lake and having lunch, we continued on to Camp Lake. We arrived there midday. It was surprisingly hot in the sun even at 11,000 feet. We relaxed in the shade and took in the view until the sun got a little lower. This is the small but beautiful Camp Lake.
The sun about to dip behind the peaks to the west.
Our campsite. No rainfly needed with weather like this.
The winds were strong that evening. It was tough to get a completely sharp night photo with my small, lightweight tripod balanced on a boulder.
He's up at first light for breakfast, then right back to the tent to commandeer my sleeping bag for more zzzzzz's.
All packed up and ready to head down. Until next time!
