Day 21. Up and up to Cascade Lake. July 11, 2016.

6am to 5pm. 12.5 miles. Tuolumne Meadows Lodge to Cascade Lake.

Roper describes what we did today as “a horrendously long day.” It was long with LOTS of uphill but it was far from horrendous. I know the nero yesterday helped.

Remnants of the Great Sierra Mine and Gaynor Lakes.

The "saddle" between Spuller and Maul Lakes. It sure felt like a pass.

Now where?

Top of the saddle

We camped at Cascade Lake. Sky Pilot Col is tomorrow.

I love the glacial blue lakes

We have another wonderful campsite and it feels awesome to be horizontal and off my feet.
