Biggest day in the Sierra! Or at least on the JMT. So we woke up and went to catch the bus back to Agnew Meadow, but it was going to Red's Meadow first. So we rode it back, grabbed some coffee and took it back around to Agnew. Great way to start.
Then we pretty much stayed out of snow until the Clark lakes junctions. That was nice. After that, though, we passed around Thousand Island Lakes and up and over Island Pass (not really a pass, more like a general suggestion for the way to go), all in snow. Next was Donahue pass, the real pass. It wasn't technically difficult, just a slog. And then we fell three miles down the hill to this campsite.
We met SO MANY JMTers today. They all start around now, head south, and end on the top of Whitney. Well, then they hike out. But the JMT technically ends at the top of Whitney.
They're all really nice and we exchange information, but it was nice having the trail to ourselves. Now there's tents camped everywhere we want to camp. Ugh.
My knee really hurt today. Back to the routine - ibu's at night, glucosamine and a vitamin. I was bad about all that in town.
Okay, the 1st half of tomorrow should be easy. The elevation profile looks like the aquaduct - flat!
