So we went for a hike.
DJ is a friend from Maine that was doing some work here in California. He hasn't been hiking here before, so I thought Alta Peak would be a great day-hike with many great views along the way and a panoramic view of the Sierra from the peak. The sky was clear all day with temperatures ranging in the mid-30's (F) to mid-40's (F) throughout the day. This was my third trip to Alta Peak in less than a year. My first trip was NOV-15 2008 and second was JUN-6 2009. Each trip was different, for instance, this is the first time that I could follow the trail all the way to the peak. The first two times, the peak was covered with snow. We made it to the summit in five hours and returned to the trailhead in three hours.
Alta Peak - 11,204 feet
