Quite a day hike - thanks for the info on Wm Tyler. Was there 2 years ago and didn't see the tube containing his bio. Besides being smokey as all heck I bet it was pretty warm too!!

Thanks for this trip report.

I was lucky a couple of years back to do a long Father's Day weekend into the very same places with my son and then six year old grandson.

One of the beauties of the Sierras is the ease of going off trail and the granite. It is so different from the Oregon and Washington Cascades, my home ranges.
