Day 31 - Tyndall Creek to South of Wallace Creek...

Today the ladies left Tyndall Creek and headed south. They were looking to position themselves in a good location for the trek to Guitar Lake, the last stop before Whitney.

There are no more passes to be crossed today and I'm sure that is welcome after this week's assaults on Muir, Mather, Pinchot, Glen and Forester Passes.


Another stream crossing - a pretty one though!

Just two more days until the ladies are scheduled to summit Mt. Whitney, el 14,496', the highest peak in the lower 48 states and the "official" end of the John Muir Trail. (why they don't include the trail to the bottom, I have no idea)

Today, they got their first look at it - towering in the distance.

16.1 miles to go!
