Second time hiking this trail. Did it as part of training for Mount Whitney. Started in the morning so that we’d be done before it got too hot as most of the trail is exposed.

I enjoyed this hike for a fire road, which given the days of covid are my go to hikes. I loved the views and solitude. Only encountered three different people on the hike. It’s so quiet at the top, it’s sooo good that way.🙏🏻

As long as it’s not too hot out, this is an excellent hike. You get some nice variation in terrain and great views both from Josephine saddle and the peak. If you want to extend the hike, you can add Strawberry Peak, but it’s a fairly steep scramble to get up it.

Foggy all the way, hiking inside the clouds. Didn’t make the summit because of achy knees. Went with Lisa Mulrooney and Milo. Fun day!
