“And into the forest I go, To lose my mind and find my soul.”
South Lake to Simpson Meadow – 25.6 miles (lots of elevation loss 12,000 to 5,000)
Today was perfect.
To access the Theodore Solomons Trail where Sally and I left off in June, we hiked up Bishop Pass, down the JMT, and then hiked down the Middle Fork Trail to Simpson Meadow. It worked slick and I highly recommend the Middle Fork Trail. It is well engineered, diverse, and pretty.
Tonight we decided to cross the river in the morning and we have a lovely camp beside the river.
Tomorrow is Sally’s birthday so it is her day, she gets to call the shots. I am certainly looking forward to it.
We just missed you!
I always love seeing you beautiful photos. Not sure how you take pictures with both of you in the photo.
Looks like beautiful weather and such gorgeous scenery. You are so fortunate to be able to take advantage of the great outdoors and thank you so much for sharing
Gorgeous!
Good golly, wish I was there!! Just beautiful just the way I like it.
I haven’t read of much swimming this year. Too cold?
Amazing Pictures as usual Christy. Thanks for sharing. Happy birthday to Sally, I can’t think is a better way to celebrate it than in the backcountry. 🙂
Looks awesome. I haven’t been down the Middle Fork trail since before the bridge washed out. It was late summer 1976 and was beautiful. Your pictures bring back lots of fine memories. Thanks.
