While not your typical WTW trip report, figured this would make a good introduction for anyone that did not see the exchange in Marc's used camper thread last month.
I'm training for the Whitney mountaineering route next month and my "new" ATC has provided superb trail head accommodations on my last two training hikes. Guess where I got those handy leveling blocks
This past weekend was my third and final training run and promised to be the most challenging.
Mount San Gorgonio sits at just over 11500', 7th tallest in the states if you can believe that! We planned to camp on the summit after the 8-9 mile climb totally nearly 6000 vertical feet up the Vivian Creek trail.
Lots of flowing water, beautiful flowers and untouched wilderness.
The last few miles were pretty challenging as we neared the summit and our new digs for the evening.
Sunset was incredible as you would expect and we hunkered down for what was left of the Perseids meteor shower that night.
My legs are still sore, but I've got perma-grin from one incredible weekend.
