(2015-June 14-17) Bear Ridge to Rose Lake and Selden Pass. Sierra National Forest, California.
Had hiked up Bear Ridge a few years back, going to the Seven Gables Basin. Hiked up Bear Ridge again on this trip and headed for beautiful Rose Lake at the base of Mount Hooper. Spent the 1st night camping along Bear Creek and then hiking up to Rose Lake early in the morning. BEAUTIFUL lake!!! Captured some nice evening and morning shots of Mount Hooper reflected in the lake. Had also spent a lot of time climbing on the mountain ridge south of the lake and also walking around the lake.
Broke camp early the next morning and headed up to Seldon Pass, passing the beautiful Marie Lakes on the way. Hiked all the way back out after visiting the pass (close to 20 miles!!) Was beat when I arrived at my Xterra and decided to make the journey back home anyway. Made it back home by 0100 hours and slept in vehicle, so I wouldn't wake the wife and the pups (what a nice guy!)......
