(there are other posts for this day, see below)
Wake surprise as usual because we arrive at night. We're in the middle of a rock formation shaped balls all over each other.
morning hike on Mount Whitney Trail, but we stopped at Lone Pine Lake at an altitude of 3017m, 400m above the start. For hikers, I announce that there really is enough to make in this region.
I recall that Mount Whitney is, without taking account of Alaska, the highest peak in the USA from its height of 4418m.
I recall also that the day we were at the lowest point of the USA (the backpacker even announces the lowest in the northern hemisphere but there is a doubt). It's not funny?
After 4 miles of climbing, we reach the lake. It is really beautiful. The water is clear. Facing the lake here is the closest to farthest what we see: the blue water of the lake, then on the other side of some rocks, then the blue sky above it. It makes me a bit reminiscent of a swimming pool with views over the valley. Corner is also very green, with these huge conifer trunk up to 4 or 5 meters in circumference.
After a nap upstairs, forced back down because we do not have the necessary permit to either go higher or camping in the park.
In the afternoon we return to Mammoth Lakes where we find a campsite. It is called: Coldwater campground. It is right next to Lake Mary. This corner is really sumptuous this is hiking, boating, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding.
We even made a small fire unhurriedly eating our noodles. Super nice. For cons the night was very cold and we had curd loaves :-) I have a duvet that heralds a comfort limit to 6 degrees, then it is actually down below, either because they tell tall tales and even jogging sweater j ' I was cold. Good teeth are served and it passes.
