Hikes by Kyle Meyer in 2013
19 miles / 4,000 feet gained / 1 night
Our last trip before my wife Christy and I hike the John Muir Trail starting July 7th, this was intended to be a bit of a shakedown hike to ensure we're set up well for three weeks on the trail in California. We were the only ones at the trailhead Friday morning. It looks like we timed our trip to this wilderness perfectly—both rhododendrons and bear grass w...

Our original plan was Bear Lake, but it was sufficiently hot-as-hell out to make stopping at North Lake an easy decision. This trail is cruel and unusual—unyieldingly steep throughout.

Went back for another attempt at making an igloo. The snow conditions were even less conducive, but the weather was *amazing*. I took laps down some excellent snow in between block cutting for the failed igloo, we built a big fire, drank all the whiskey, and had a wonderful time. This campsite is aces—big views of Hood, Adams, Helens, and Rainier as well as ...
