Eastern Sierra - North lake to South lake 5天4夜背包行(下)
Day4: 7/5/21, Wanda Lake -> Dusy Basin ,~14 mile, 2,941ft gain/3,615ft loss
今天是整个行程中最难的,几上几下,爬升高。先要过Muir Pass (11,955ft),然后一路下坡,路上有Helen lake, Black Divide, LeConte Canyon。和JMT/PCT分手后,再上坡到Dusy Basin。这最后一段的爬升到Dusy Basin很考验人的!复习一下,前面说过南北湖这条会经过三个山口(Piute pass, Muir pass and Bishop pass),3 basins(Humphreys, Evolution, and Dusy), 4 Canyons(Piute, Goddard, Evolution, and LeConte)。在4个峡谷中今天要走的LeConte Canyon最为震撼,Dusy Basin也是美的不行!!
P1, 早晨出发时路上的Wanda lake
P2, Muir Pass (11,955ft) & Muir Hut。Muir Hut是非常有名的地标,网上有很多介绍,走JMT/PCT的驴子们都会在这里停留朝拜。

P12, 虽然爬坡辛苦,一路上是美不胜收!这条路上有小溪流可以补水的,有同学刚开始担心没有水源,补了不太干净的水,再继续走一段,有非常清澈的小溪流动水,不用担心。
P13, 这个山头叫啥名字?
P14, 这最后一段爬升现在还记忆犹新,天热大汗背着大包,人也累了,记的走到我自己觉得应该到的目的地,问同伴还有多远?同伴说还有0.7迈,怎么还有0.7迈?感觉当时快崩溃了,开始数步子:-)
P15, 终于到了今天的目的地Dusy Basin,耶!搭帐扎营,山友们照例钓鱼,晚餐我们照例享受着美味新鲜的鱼汤,辛苦幸福的一天!

P.S1. 今年三进395,我们的后花园Sierra。本来还有四进,9月初Labor day去走Rae lakes loop。可是最近几年山火不断,越烧越猛的架势,Inyo为了预防长周末引发更多的火灾,把它们都关闭取消了,我们的计划也随之夭折。
P.S2. 最近借了一本书Backpacking California by Wilderness Press ,它给这南北湖trail的景色评分是10分,满分!记笔记一下,这本书列了13条Southern Sierra的背包路线,景色评分在括号里,有个参考。Mineral King and Little 5 lakes loop(9), Crescent Meadow to Whitney portal via the High Sierra Trail(10), Lodgepole to Deadman Canyon to Crescent Meadow(9), Rae lakes loop from Ends road(9), Cottonwood lakes to Upper Rock Creek loop(8), Horseshoe Meadow to Whitney Portal(10), South lake to North lake(10), North lake to Humphreys Basin loop(9), North Fork Big Pine Creek(10), Kings-Kern Divide loop(10), Middle Fork Bishop Creek(10), Agnew Meadows to Devils Postpile(10), Lillian lake loop(8).
