My adventure began by taking the curvy, 15 mph road for 22 miles with scary moments of a road to narrow for two way traffic and taking an hour into the Mineral King national Park.
After securing my permit with the park ranger, parking my car I found my trail head. I started at 8000 feet on day one and went to 9500 feet. Normally this would be a cakewalk for me but with a 25 pound pack, I was huffing and puffing and moving quite slowly up the hill. My first night camping by a river found myself in a very secluded spot to myself.
The scenery was out of this world, the landscapes gorgeous, and natures own sounds serenaded me for several days.
Pure joy
