2019 • September Trip to California

Leavitt Falls

   9/14/2019 • Leavitt Falls   
• Turning off of US-395 onto CA-108 at Sonora Junction, we headed into Sonora Pass.  First stop, Leavitt Falls, which we were able to get a great view of from the vista point.

Pacific Crest Trail

   9/14/2019 • Pacific Crest Trail   
• The PCT crosses CA-108 right at the high point of Sonora Pass.  I hiked for about a mile and then back again.  The elevation here is about 9,624ft.

Kennedy Meadow North

   9/14/2019 • Overlooking Kennedy Meadows   
• This is another confusing naming scenario.  This Kennedy Meadows is along highway 108 north of Yosemite.  There is another Kennedy Meadows, which is north of highway 178 near Lake Isabella.  This is farther south, but also in the Sierras.  In fact, the southern Kennedy Meadows is also thought to be at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.  The Pacific Crest Trail goes through the southern one.

Donnell Lake

   9/14/2019 • Donnell Lake   
• Donnell Lake runs below the highway on the north side of the road, and is on the western face of the Sierras.  Once we were down in the San Joaquin Valley, we kept going west to the town of Ukiah, where we spent the night.  We would head out to the coast the next day.
