Desolation Wilderness Triple Crown…Again
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:09 pm
Sorry, mschnaidt, but that is a great title! It was your report of the trip you guys made last year that inspired us to try the Triple Crown.
We set out toward our base camp at Lyons Lake.
We did some fishing (see the fishing hole) and spent the night. Early the next morning we said good bye to Lyons Lake for the day.
The hike up to Price started up granite slabs. There was some boulder hopping but we made good time. Here are my three girls enjoying the snow below Agassiz.
Soon we found ourselves on the summit of Price.
The views were spectacular. We saw Lake Aloha with Heather and Susie below…
…And Dicks Peak and Jacks Peak just to the right of Rockbound Valley.
Then there was Smith, Wrights, Dark, Icehouse and Union Valley.
These views were great, but we had bigger fish to fry. It was off to Agassiz and Pyramid.
We needed to get on top of that summit block.
There is some water in the tarn below Agassiz.
To be continued…
