After my husband and two sons conquered this challenging high altitude seven mile trail in 2017 and told me how beautiful the views of the Sierras are, it became a trail I had to try! Since my fitness level isn't quite ready for an advanced hike, we opted for trekking just the first three miles up to Panther Gap where we stopped for a lunch break. Though the fog rolled in as we ascended to the gap and it limited our scenic views, the forest felt mystical and magical!
