Granite Lake - Emigrant wilderness 25. - 27. 5. 2013



With our wedding coming up in less than a month we didn't even think that we will go backpacking this weekend. On the other hand I really missed going to mountains and since we were done with the big part of our planning we decided to go. Emigrant wilderness was easy choice - relatively close to our home, the permits don't have quota and the scenery is very close to those you find in Yosemite. We, Carine, Sheila, Eric and I, hiked on the trail to Bear lake, but Bear lake is very popular destination and it was quite crowded, so we went off trail and continued to Granite lake. We stayed there two nights, the second day exploring the surroundings and having lazy afternoon and evening. We saw only one group at the lake and that was the night we arrived otherwise we were on our own.

Jelikoz nase svatba mela byt za mene nez jeden mesic, ani jsme si nemysleli, ze pujdeme backpakovat tento vikend. Na druhou stranu me moc chybely hory a jelikoz jsme byli hotovi s vetsinou duleziteho planovani, tak jsme se rozhodli jit. Emigrant wilderness byla jednoducha volba - je to pomerne blizko z domu, povoleni nemaji limit a vyhledy jsou velice podobne tem co najdete v Yosemitech. Carine, Sheila, Eric a ja jsme sli po vyznacene ceste k Bear lake, ale toto jezero je velice popularni a tak bylo kolem nej hodne lidi. Tak jsme vyrazili mimo znacenou cestu az k Granite lake. Tady jsem zutali dve noci, druhy den jsme jen prozkoumavali okoli a uzivali si klidneho odpoledne a vecera. Za celou dobu jsme videli jen jednu skupinu u jezera a to bylo tu noc co jsme tam prisli, jinak jsme byli sami.
