    Out and Back acclimating to 10k
    There’s nothing like the Sierras. Today was a short acclimation hike to get used to 10k (I live at sea level). This little hike is flat and has a pretty view of Horseshoe Meadow. Trail is very sandy, feels a bit like walking on the beach. Great family hike.

    Cottonwood Pass TH to Rock Creek
    Beautiful. Take note that Chicken Spring Lake is the only dependable water source between the TH and Rock Creek.
