Day 32 - South of Wallace Creek to Guitar Lake...

Today was a relatively easy day for the ladies as they prepare for tomorrow's assault on Mt. Whitney. They left Wallace Creek and headed eastward to Guitar Lake, el 11,400'. This is the point where the John Muir Trail leaves the Pacific Crest Trail and heads east towards the Whitney Massif.

They stopped for lunch at Timberline Lake and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. Then they continued on and made camp on a shelf just above Guitar Lake. After they arrived, they had an afternoon of rest and relaxation to get ready for tomorrow.

Guitar Lake...

Here they reflect on what they have accomplished and the beautiful scenery they have seen and passed through. This also gave them one more day of high altitude acclimation before their climb to the top of the highest peak in the contiguous 48 states.
