| no partners | | This hike up the Sabrina Basin Trail was on my itinerary for this October visit to the Eastern Sierras. My goal was Baboon Lake, but I decided to turn around at Blue Lake based on a recommendation from a backpacker who was camped there. He told me that at the rate I was going, if I didn't have a head lamp, I should start the hike back to the TH now. I always appreciate the encouragement I get from other hikers. This would be the 4th time I've been to Blue Lake and I never tire of the scenery.
I arrived at the TH at 9:30am on Tuesday and there were plenty of nearby empty parking spaces. Being late in the season, the middle of the week, and with rain clouds threatening, I encountered relatively few hikers and most were backpackers on their way out. As usual, I spent way too much time taking photos on the way up to Blue Lake, most of which would end up in the scrap pile, so I didn't arrive there until 1:00pm. In my mind it was still morning as I procrastinated around the lake shore taking photos. It was finally the backpacker who was camped there that set me straight that it was approaching mid-afternoon and gave me the advice to start the trek back to the TH. |
