Ryan's Solo Backpacking Trip Album

Ryan went his first solo backpacking trip at the end of June in his favorite area of Yosemite. He started in Tuolumne Meadows and ended near Silver Lake in the outskirts of Mammoth Lakes, CA. He originally was going to take 3 days to complete his 29mi trip but instead completed it in 2 days. He was eager to get back to us. Yay! Plus, it was super windy at night and he was carrying a 46lb pack. I was worried but also very excited for his adventure. I am glad it was a short trip because anymore than 3 days would drive me a bit crazy with very little or no contact; esp going solo. Below are a few of the many pictures Ryan took along the two day trail. I dropped him off in Yosemite around 5:30PM on a Thursday and picked him up about 4:30PM on Saturday. The girls and I relaxed in a lodge in Mammoth Lakes and cruised the local lake basin area on Saturday. We had a great time in June Lake, but the pictures are on my cell phone still.
