Long weekends are perfect for backpacking trips, but this time we weren't sure if we will be able to go anywhere. Eric had a problem with his back and backpacking might not be the best activity for him. After trying to cary full backpack for a few miles around our house without problem, we decided to go. Trinity alps is great destination for many reasons, one of them is that one doesn't have to have permit reserved in advanced. We decided to go to Canyon Creek lakes, which was mentioned as nice area in Backpacker magazine just previous month. Probably combination of these - no permit restriction, being in Backpacker magazine and rim fire that closed a lot of Sierras made this area extremely crowded. Never less we had fun. We stayed two days at the same place and went for hike on Saturday. One of the highlights of the trip was bear taking a bath in one of the lakes.

Prodlouzeny vikend je vzdy vhodny pro vylet do hor, tentokrat jsme si ale nebyli jisti, jestli nekam pojedeme. Eric mel problemy ze zady a tak pochod z tezkym batohem by nemusela byt pro nej ta nejlepsi aktivita. Pote co si zkusil nosit batoh nekolik kilometru kolem domu bez problemu, jsme se rozhodli vyrazit. Trinitske alpy je skvele misto na vylety z mnoha duvodu, jeden je, ze se nemusi zamluvit povoleni hodne dopredu. Rozhodli jsme se jit k jezerum v Creek kanonu, ktera byla zminena v casopusu pro turisty minuly mesic. Pravdepodobne kombinace techto skutecnosti - neomezene povoleni, zminka v magazinu a ohen, ktery uzavrel velkou cast hor Sierra byly pricinou, ze oblast byla hodne precpana. I tak jsme si to uzili. Zustali jsme dve noci na stejnem miste a v sobotu jsme vyrazili na vyslap. Jeden ze zazitku vyletu byl koupajici se medved v jednom z jezer.
