Thor Peak in the Eastern Sierra

“The weather was stormy, so I started out at 4:30 am yesterday from Whitney Portal to head up to Thor Peak. I took the North Fork Lone Pine Creek Trail to Lower Boy Scout Lake. When i got to Lower Boy Scout Lake I decided to head up to the peak from there like Joe did last week. I hiked up to the saddle east of Thor Peak and then traverse over to Thor Peak (12,300,). It's a pretty straight-forward route. I got to the peak at 9:30 am and then back down to the trailhead by 12:30 pm. I was home around 4 pm in the afternoon - I've never been home that early from a day hike in the Sierra before.

Also, there were no mosquitos out - it was great!

Here are some pictures I took:

“Hey wingding, nice pics! You still dating the NASCAR guy?”

“no, the NASCAR guy is gone - he was also a forest service guy who wouldn't go out in the wilderness unless it was on fire

no love lost there - i'm sure he'd probably say the same thing”

“Wonderful pictures Kathy! The one of Russell with UBSL is really neat I think.
I love how all the colors look with the dark sky..it's so different, we usually see blue sunny skies, so to see it in a different light is so neat! Great summit picture of you.
Thank you for sharing!
Hey..even Mt. Carillon you got a picture of :)I hope I get to the summit that weekend”

“Anita: As long as the weather holds up for you, you'll make Carillon. I've put that one on my to-do list now that I've gotten a look at it. I'm going to see how I do on Whitney's Mountaineer's Route on the 27th before I add Russell to the list of peaks to do.”
