Stacey went hiking August 7, 2011 10.5 miles 1,000 feet gained
Perfect day for a day hike in the central California Sierras.
This hike was an out and back, starting at the Potter Pass Trailhead (8400' elevation) along the road to Kaiser Pass. I figured it would be a good hike to get in some acclimitizing, while breaking in a new set of boots before hiking in Yosemite later this week.
Lots of late season wildflowers (lupine, indian paintbrush among many). Lots of mosquitos too.
The trail is in good condition. At this point there are still a few patches of snow off trail, and a few muddy spots on trail.
