Kearsarge Pass

I went for a long day trail run / hike in July 2005 up in the John Muir Wilderness on a trail that leads up to Kearsarge Pass. Along the 4-and-a-half mile trail are five lakes on the way up and two lakes on the other side of the pass. Below are a few photos.

 Running along I pass a large lake.

 After an hour and 40 minutes of hiking and running I get to the pass.

Coming down the other side of the pass looking deep into the John Muir Wilderness I see some packers with horses.

Two hours of hiking yields this spectacular lake called Kearsarge Lake.

I headed back to the car and along the way encountered sleet, mosquitos and a lot of people. I also notice this fine old tree.

Total Time: Around 4 hours
