Lake-to-Loop, John Muir Wilderness, California
July 23-28, 2000

Our trip started on Sunday, 23 July 2000 at Florence Lake. We parked our car at the campground and had lunch before loading up the commissary stuff. We then rode on a ferry boat across Florence Lake to the trail and hiked about two miles and set up camp.

The second day, we continued our hike for eight miles and a 2,000 ft gain and camped by Bear Creek in a forested valley. There lot of mosquitoes to bother us by the streams.

The third day, we again hiked 8 miles to the glimpses of Seven Gables, Mt. Hilgard, Mt. Senger, and Mt. Hooper. We set up camp with a wonderful viewing of the great lakes at 10,500 ft.

The following day was a layover day for us to explore the surrounding area’s Lakes. We relaxed all day.

On the fifth day, we crossed Seldon Pass and stopped by at fantastic Sally Keyes. We then descended to camp at Blayney Meadows and their hot springs.

On our last day, 28, July 2000 we crossed Lake Edison by ferry boat to reach our cars.
