Log

Day 0

  • Drove from SF to Travertine Hot Springs in Bridgeport through Modesto and Stanislaus National Forest
  • Dispersed camping was available just before the hot springs after the offshoot road, but car camped right beside the spring overnight
  • The temperature got to around 0C but was comfortable in the car, it is a little short for me and my head was falling through the cracks Day 1
  • The hot spring was pretty warm and there are four more springs further down the trail with 1 being really hot and the other 3 is temperate
  • Drove to Mono Lake to have breakfast and saw the partial solar eclipse
  • Drove to trailhead and started the hike at 11am
  • Took about 6 hours to get to campsite with the incline and first time backpacking for [[h]]
  • Campsite is dispersed area around the Lake with rocks and some soft soil
  • No washrooms or bear lockers Day 2
  • Return trip was easier but took around the same time as the entry trip

Retrospective

  • Will definitely do again and can go on a longer route
