It was just a normal 2 day weekend like any other but this time I had tremendous motivation. And I needed it Florence lake is just 150 miles from Fresno but the drive takes almost 3 hours one way. I left Fresno early saturday morning. Within an hour you reach Shaver Lake a forested Gem at 5000 feet. Soon the grade increases as you reach Huntington Lak http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Sierra-National-Forest/blog-97485.html Canyon Creek Trinity Alps What a fabulous backpacking trip. It averaged 8o degrees and there was still snow in some places along the trail. Amazing waterfalls and strong rivers beautiful flowers and succelents and not too many people http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Sierra-National-Forest/blog-92169.html The Perseid Surprise This was an overnight solo trip to 8000 feet deep into the heart of the Sierra Nevadas. I tried to invite people but nobody wanted to come I knew it was going to be a long weekend with lots of driving and hiking. But I also knew I would get to spend a day and night in the wilderness enjoying the biggest meteor shower of the year. I brought food I didn't have to cook. I brought only a sleep http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Sierra-National-Forest/blog-82289.html
