High Sierra Snowshoe Trip ~ March 2014

Thanks for organizing the trip, Andy. I had a blast. Maybe next year we'll have to go back to do the full loop.

And thanks for getting there a day early to break the trail for us!

Andy, your trips are an inspiration, thanks for posting.

If you couldn't tell already from the photos, I give this trip two thumbs up.

What a beautiful trip! Way to go guys.

And thanks for sharing. You brought one of my favorite areas to life in a totally different way.

Thanks for your comments! It was a great time, with better conditions we might have made the entire loop.

Looks fantastic. Amazing terrain.

Just sayin: there are these things called skis. Ya'll should check em out. ;)

Dude, looks like some perfect weather for those conditions. Good night shots from the full write up.

Oh wow that is is beautiful.

Now I really need to get a full snow/winter kit together. I'm almost there.

Great report and photos. Thanks for sharing guys.

Agreed – awesome trip!

Thanks again for your comments UL dudes.

@David, I hear you, xc skiing is a better way to explore much farther into the backcountry. We saw a couple of skiers on their way up to Echo Lake and I'm sure they didn't appreciate our snowshoe tracks! I got a late start with downhill skiing so the transition to splitboarding might be the next step for me. Next winter. . .

The learning curve of skiing is a harsh one, no way around it. Whenever I have too many decent days out in a row, I get nervous because I know I'm in for a thrashing soon.

Nice to see some snow in the High Sierra!
