Proposed hikes near Mineral King CA Sept 2006

OK - Here are two (of thousands!) hikes I have researched and full descriptions with pictures are posted on this website: http://www.sierra-trails.com/sierratrails.html

One is much shorter - 20+ miles might take 4 days, maybe less. We would probably have time to go visit Yosemite valley after or before this hike.

The other one is longer 40+ miles might take 6 days or less. Profiles are provided too.

Feedback is encouraged. Do some research and make a proposal for other hikes in the high Sierra. The goal for us is to get above treeline and enjoy the magnificent views of the Sierra Crest, Great Western Divide etc.

Cancun

We had a great trip to Cancun in February. We even went to a bullfight. It was very interesting; informative and interesting. It was funny to see the gringos who volunteered try to fight a small 150# bull. The bull won - no doubt about it. When the real bull was let out most everyone's eyes were as big as silver dollars. It is a deadly dance - no matter who gets killed.

Grand Cayon: rim to rim in May. Permit is full so if you want to join us on a hike, you'll have to wait until Sept when we head back into the high Sierras - Mineral King area....maybe Deadman Canyon Loop.
