It was warm until the wind came up mid morning. Unfortunately the brisk wind ruined the opportunity for a dip in every lake, the usual MO in summer.Ronin said:Quite a day hike - thanks for the info on Wm Tyler. Was there 2 years ago and didn't see the tube containing his bio. Besides being smokey as all heck I bet it was pretty warm too!!

I was lucky a couple of years back to do a long Father's Day weekend into the very same places with my son and then six year old grandson.
One of the beauties of the Sierras is the ease of going off trail and the granite. It is so different from the Oregon and Washington Cascades, my home ranges.

Day use requires a permit also, that's what is hanging on Julie's pack. You can fill one out at trail heads such as Wrights. Some trail heads do not have permits so we harvest a few extra when we see them, Overnights must be done online or at an USFS office.craig333 said:Probably ten years since I've been in Desolation. Do you need a permit only if you're overnighting?
