Back-Packing Trip: Cottonwood Lakes to Miter Basin to Mt. Langley

5:07 PM
At the top of Mt. Langley
My dad, sister, and I set out for this trip last Wednesday. Honestly, this was probably the least planned back-packing trip we've been on. We originally were going to start at Cottonwood Lakes and head towards Mt. Whitney and go up Whitney and then out Mt. Whitney Portal. We did that trip 5 years ago.  Then about a month or 2 before the trip, I asked if we could do something different. Dad suggested that we hike Mt. Langley just south of Whitney. That was the extent of our plans.

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

12:23 PM
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.

Mt. Whitney

3:06 PM

Back in the summer of 2010, my dad, sister, uncle, and I completed a Mt. Whitney trip. We started at Cottonwood Lakes trail head and over several days, made our way to Mt. Whitney. This route is less crowded but much longer (37 miles total) than the popular Mt. Whitney Portal trail. We did it in 3 nights/4 days.
