Making Tracks ...
The meeting ended early afternoon, so at 2:50PM I was departing from Camp Sacramento off of Highway 50 headed for
Mount Ralston. An hour 40 minutes took me from the 6,500 foot starting elevation to the summit at 9,235 feet. Another hour 10 minutes and I was back to the car. Not bad for a late afternoon workout. The total distance looks to be about 8 miles, but I am not quite sure.
This is in the wonderfully named
Desolation Wilderness.
Judge for yourself if the name matches the terrain.
Looking at Lake Tahoe. The late afternoon lighting isn't the best for picture taking.
It is almost straight down. One slip and it is all over.

Eeek! Don't slip. Especially in that snow.
Desolation, indeed!
