Tuolumne Meadows 21. - 22.8. 2010



This weekend I went to Yosemite - Tuolumne meadows with one meetup group - Bay area mountaineering. It is always great to go with this group, which is fun and full of interesting and nice people. The first day I wander around Spillway lakes, the second one I tried to reach Unicorn peak. Unfortunately the last couple of meters were above my climbing ability, but even without reaching the top I had great weekend.

Tento vikend jsem jela do Yosemite - Tuolumne meadows s jednou Meetup skupinou - Bay area mountaineering. Jet s touto skupinou je vzdy super, je plna bezvadnych a zajimavych lidi. Prvni den jsem stravila prochazenim kolem Spillway jezer, druhy den jsem se snazila vylezt na Unicorn peak. Nanestesti poslednich par metru bylo nad me horolezecke sily, ale i tak bez dosazeni vrcholu jsem mela super vikend.

John Muir Trail 17.7. - 3.8. 2010



John Muir trail is hiking trail that starts in Yosemite National Park, and continues 215 miles through the Ansel Adams Wilderness, John Muir Wilderness, King's Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park, and ends at the highest peak in continental United States, Mount Whitney. I discovered backpacking in Sierras Nevada mountains a couple years ago and I just love it. JMT was great opportunity to go for longer trip, to see how beautiful the mountains are in the further destinations where my weekends expedition can't reach. Eric and I , spent 17 days on our feet, but it felt like much less! The scenery was beautiful, the weather great, we went only through one afternoon storm and one day with showers and night with hails. The one downside were mosquitoes, especially in the first half. We ended up our trip sleeping on Mt. Whitney, where was that day so calm weather and beautiful sunset that we couldn't wish for anything better.

John Muir trail je cesta ktera vede z Yosemite NP, a pokracuje 344 km zkrz Adams Wilderness, John Muir Wilderness, King's Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park, a konci na nejvyssim vrcholu kontinentalnich USA, Mt. Whitney. Objevila jsem backpakovani v horach Sierra Nevada pred par lety a nemuzu se toho nabazit. JMT byla dobra prilezitost pro delsi vylet, videt jak nadherne hory jsou ve vetsich vzdalenostech, kam me vikendove expedice nestaci. Eric a ja jsme stravili 17 dni chozenim, ale pripadalo nam to jako mene! Vyhledy byly nadherne, pocasi uzasne, prozili jsme jen jednu odpoledni bourku, jeden den s prehankami a noc s kroupami. Jedinne minus byli komari, hlavne v prvni casti. Nasi cestu jsme ukoncili na Mt. Whitney, kde bylo ten den velice klidne pocasi a nadherny zapad slunce, ze jsme si nemohli prat lepsi zakonceni.
