Trail Run: Three girls and four mountain passes

Section between Mono Pass and Parker Pass.
Today I went for a trail run with Jess and Mel. Before setting out, we thought it was going to be about a 24 miler- it ended up being 21.8. The longest I have ever ran at one time is 16 miles (and that was a few years ago). I have to admit, it made me a bit nervous upping the mileage that much especially when I knew the difficulty of the route we were taking. However, I accepted the fact that we would probably be walking parts of it- I could gut it out.

Back-packing trip: Reds Meadow to Iva Belle Hot Springs

An ethereal evening soaking in one of the tubs after arriving the first day.
We set out for Iva Belle hot springs from Reds Meadow on Monday, June 15th. We originally thought it was going to be about a 10 mile hike but later realized it was more like a 13 mile hike. The last few miles of our hike in were tough. We were all pretty exhausted and sore due to our 40-50 pound packs (which only included necessary items like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a hammock, frisbee golf discs, etc.) Hey, we back-pack in style.
