Kennedy Peak and Molo Mountain

Two day hike in Emigrant Wilderness starting from Kennedy Meadows, with overnight on the Kennedy ridge. This was a late spring hike, with still a lot of snow after, a record year.
The snow was quite good for walking, especially in the morning, but it kept hard even in the afternoon. High debit on all the creeks, making the crossing of Kennedy Creek near Soda Canyon quite tricky.
During both days there were thunderstorms in the afternoon, with sunny mornings and evening.
Equipment: crampons and ice axe. Carried snowshoes, but did not really use them.

There's so much snow up there it's like an ancient ice-age landscape! And a perfect weather window as well! Great trip!

[@kalimachios]

Yep - it is pretty well covered - that will stay there for a while. And indeed was a good trip - thx
