Kaiser Wilderness 28.-29.3. 09



















Winter backpacking is always great experience! This year we went to Kaiser Wilderness - area between Yosemite and Sequoia NP. I have never been there and I probably won't stop being surprised how many beautiful places are in Sierras! Martin, Ryan, Lakshan and I left on Friday evening, and slept on our way in Fresno. In the morning we drove about two more hours, picked up permits and around noon started to hike. The lower part of our "trail - nontrail" went through parts of snow and bushes without cover. After lunch we got to the higher parts with snow cover, even though quite wet. We found spot for camping around 6 pm, made fire, had dinner and around 9 went to sleep. In the morning Martin and I wanted to climb one of the surroundig hills so we could have some nice view. Ryan and Lakshan stayed at the campsite. It was about one hour climb, but it was worth it! The way back was quite easy and fast. We tried to follow our steps since Lakshan lost his snowshoe extension, but we didn't find it. We were back home around 11 pm.

Zimni tury jsou vzdy skvele! Tento rok jsme jeli do Kaiser Wilderness - oblast mezi Yosemite a Sequoia NP. Nikdy jsem tady jeste nebyla a asi se nikdy neprestanu divit kolik nadhernych mist je v pohorich Sierra! Martin, Ryan, Lakshan a ja jsem vyjeli v patek vecer a prespali po ceste ve Fresne. Rano jsme jeste popojeli dve hodinky, vyzvedli povoleni a kolem poledne jsme zacali nasi turu. Spodni cast nasi cesty - necesty vedla snehem a krovim bez snehu. Po obedni prestavce jsem se dostali do vyssich poloh, ktere byly pokryte snehem, i kdyz docela mokrym. Misto na stanovani jsme nasli v 6 vecer. Udelali jsme ohen, veceri a kolem 9 vecer jsme sli spat. Rano Martin a ja jsme se vydali na jeden z okolnich kopcu abychom meli lepsi vyhled. Ryan a Lakshan zustali v kempu. Byl to asi hodinovy vyslap, ale stal za to! Cesta zpatky byla jednoducha a rychla. Snazili jsme se jit ve vlastnich stopach, protoze Lakshan ztratil jednu nasadu na sneznice, ale nenasli jsme ji. Byli jsme zpatky doma kolem 11 vecer.
