Emigrant Wilderness, August 29 - September 1, 2003

Dave, Crystal, Greg, Francis, Bryan, Rosalynn, and Rob did our biannual backpacking trip, starting at Kennedy Meadows at 6300 feet and ending at Grouse Meadow at 8300 feet. From there, we did day hikes, including one up another 1000 feet to Grouse Creek Lake. Sunny and warm except for Sunday, when it rained in the morning and then was cloudy and cool during the day.
