I had the pleasure of hiking in late summer another section of the Sierra High Route (as defined by Steve Roper). Our hike started up out of Sabrina Lake to Wallace Col, through Evolution Basin and over Snow-tongue Col above Evolution Valley. We traveled cross country through Humprey's Basin, down across the Pine Creek Pass Trail and up over a pass above Marian Lake. We then traveled pass a bunch of lakes with bear names, along Lake Italy and came over the col north of Bear Creek Spire. Awesome trip in the alpine enjoy the pictures:
Berg Heil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great looking trip. Mt Humphreys is on my short list when I get back that way. Lots of history.
Thanks!

Awesome. I was planning on doing the full High Route this year, but got skeered and backed out after hearing reports of lots of late-season snow. Hopefully next year...

This is a really great report on section of the High Route I have barely nudged in a few places. Great shot of Goddard. Thanks much.

Dee ee, we were out for 5 nights and 6 days of hiking. Most all the hiking is off trails so a 12 or 15 mile day feels more like a 20 mile day. The Sierra High Route is awesome, we did the section south of this one a couple years ago and will hit the northern sections in the year or two ahead.

Where was the pic of Goddard taken from? (What aspect of the peak are we looking at, NW?) I haven't seen that view before, and am surprised to see so many trees in the foreground. Is that a telephoto?
Wait, wait, thats from the south side, right?

AM, The telephoto of Goddard is from way across Evolution Valley looking southwest at the northeast aspect, hence the glacier remnant.
