First there was the breathtaking drive to Onion Valley... heading into the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. Destination: the Kearsarge Pass trailhead, for a hike to Flower Lake, then back the way we came up. You can see snow-covered crags and spiraling peaks in the distance, including granite ridges and tree-free mountains, some over 12,000'. This is one of the gateways to the deep Sierra Nevada Mountains, where trails lead to Mt. Whitney, the John Muir trail, the High Sierra Trail, the High Sierra, and more.
Length: 4.3 miles / Elevation gain: 1,332' / Highest Elevation Point: 10,601'.
(Test comment) I gotta get me out there.
