Mt. San Jacinto Outdoor Recreation

My wife and I just returned from a 5-day backpack into the North Fork of Big Pine Creek. We camped in between First Lake and Second Lake. Ahh, the High Sierra. . .

First Lake:



Second Lake, with Temple Crag towering above:



The view up the South Fork of Big Pine Creek from the North Fork trail:



Perfect weather, although the last two sunsets were a bit smoky from the Tepihite Fire in NW Kings Canyon.

Here's a url to a Flickr set of the hike:

Nice pics - that is a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

That looks like a lot of fun.

yah kgw. man those are great pictures. I get butterflies in my stomach looking at them. I've been up there but it was 35 years ago. I really remember it like it was last week. I wanna go back up there.
