    I went backpacking with a group of friends to Chickenfoot Lake via the Little Lakes Valley Trail. We set up camp there and enjoyed a day swimming and kayaking on Chickenfoot lake.
    The next day, I hiked alone to Gem Lakes using the Little Lakes Valley Trail. From there, I climbed up to Treasure Lakes before summiting Mount Dade, a 13,501 ft peak, which requires Class 3 and 4 scrambling to reach and descend.
    Ran out of phone battery so couldn't record my trail map :[

      Do you follow the gem lakes trail to get the view at 13:42 ?

    • @PaulSantas
      @PaulSantas  2 года назад +1

      @@anthonyp2580 no, the gem lakes trail ends at the far side of the last gem lake (11:03). To get the view you mentioned, you have to hike off trail to the top of Mt. Dade, which is about 4 miles with 2000+ ft elevation gain.

    Nicely crafted video.
    Are use using a trails map? When you are hiking solo it’s not really evident your on an established trail, or a lot of the time it’s not.
    As I’ve grown older, and bit bit less coordinated and stable I like hiking poles, one in each hand, I rig my pack to cord then on when not in use.

      @@PaulSantas the first clue was the gate to Mosquito Flats wasn’t open yet and you had to road hike up from the pack station. (: still a beautiful hike though
