Skipping over the snow covered trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Rob and Ken get started again after making the jump from Kennedy Meadows to Old Station, California. Hopefully, they’ll find a clear hiking path with beautiful scenery.
Ken and Rob are swapping out their Altra Lone Peak 3.5 shoes after putting 600 miles on them. Here’s a quick look at how they’ve held up. While you may not be able to buy this model of shoe anymore, the 4.0 version is now available. Hopefully, they’ll perform just as well.
With the weather calmer, Rob and Ken are back to Walker Pass to work towards completing their progress towards Kennedy Meadows, the gateway to the Sierras.
After a brief departure, Rob & Ken are back to fill in sections of the trail they jumped due dangerous conditions. This short section from Inspiration Point to Vincent Gulch sets them up to climb Baden-Powell.
Back on trail, filling in the gap‘s that we had to skip. We’re starting with the area near Idyllwild, California that includes San Jacinto Peak. Last time, 3 feet of snow over a sheet of ice prevented us from completing this section. This time, conditions are different. However, are they really after the three winter storms that have passed through here in the last eight days?
