Backpacking the High Trail

Here are some photos from my backpacking trip in July with Matt and Kyle. They are two SCA's (the lady who started the Student Conservation Association is from Shaftsbury, VT - or resides there) who are Interpretation interns. I love them.

We did the High Trail with aspirations of going over 5 passes in 2 nights and 3 days. Kyle ended up twisting his knee and we exited the Rush Creek trail out of June Lake instead. BUT it was still SO much fun.

And we hiked in farther than we thought the first night and were rewarded with amazing views when we rose. There were definitely people camping closer than 100' off the trail too. I give people the wilderness permits at work and do they listen? No. Who listens to LNT rules? Bigfoot does. That's who.
