Kings Canyon trip - Chris and Gil

One of the pieces of my sabbatical was to take a 3 day/2-night camping trip in Kings Canyon NP with Gil. We hiked up a trail day 1, then day 2 was a day hike up past a nice lake en route to trying to summit a local peak (we ran out of time), with day 3 being the trek back out. It was great to get out there, although i felt pretty out of shape!

note - since i'm writing this posting many months after the actual trip, i don't remember the specifics (where we went, names of lakes/mtns, etc.)... sorry...

nice view of the valley we climbed up on day 1.


here's the nice lake we passed by on our way up the mtn on our day hike.

that's the mountain summit in the background - this was about where we topped out.
