It reached 100 here today, but there is supposed to be a cool front moving through tonight, so only 87 tomorrow.

I'm guessing that I will take plenty of pictures.

Thanks for the report and great pictures. I've literally had almost the same trip mapped out in CalTopo for the last two years. Maybe I'll make it out there this year. Same amount of days, but I was going to make it a little easier and head south towards Summerville and back. Your report confirms my interest, but does little to secure the time and money needed for the trip!

Heading back up in late July/early August time frame in 2022 if you'd like to tag along, and you can find the time and money to make it.

Great!!
I day hiked to Albino Lake and climbed up Lonesome Mountain last year. I wished I could have ventured more into the wilderness as it was gorgeous. But my day hours were limited, I still had to go back to my car.

Definitely worth a trip back to do some more exploring if you get a chance.
