    I was so sad when I saw the fire burned that section between the Kern Hot Springs and Junction Meadow. It was so nice and cool. Although some of the gazillion stream crossings were a bit of a challenge with all the snow melt. I plan to stay at Junction Meadow the next time I hike the HST because the grind up to Wallace Creek just about broke me. It was so hot that day and there wasn’t any breeze. I thought numerous times about heaving my pack off the trail. The throbbing ankle didn’t help my attitude much. LOL! You did an amazing job capturing the beauty of this trail. Congrats on your thru-hike!

    oddly enough I've also seen a person carrying a guitar hiking the high sierra trail between Hamilton and bearpaw. I was completing a big loop in the park. lakes trail to pear lake offtrail up the marble fork through the tablelands over pterodactyl pass up to lonely lake up over horn cole over to Elizabeth pass down to tamarack lake Hamilton lakes out via crescent meadows. the fishing at tamarack lake is incredible.

      you can get permits much easier for this than Yosemite. even walk up permits are easy to get in sequoia. August is a good month.

    Great video, gives a good feel for the trail conditions. I never caught the date of your hike. Wondering if you got caught in the same heavy rain I was in at the end of June near Reds.

      Thanks Rob! Good point, I should have added the dates of the trip. We hiked from Jul 8 to Jul 14. Not sure if they were the same rains you hit, but as you could see, we got pummeled at times! I loved it though to help keep cool!

      Thanks for watching. I do think so. There are plenty of people on this trail and you're bound to meet some kind folks along the way. People watch out for each other. That said, prolly always best to try to find a partner.
