An iPhone’s-eye view of a day hike I took this last Sunday up the Gene Marshall-Piedra Blanca National Recreation Trail to Pine Mountain Lodge Camp. It’s about six miles to the top with some 3000 feet of elevation gain.

Looks like you had a fantastic hike through some wonderful scenery!
Any water up around PML?
Guess there probably will be now with this rain. ’bout time…
Hey Nico. Yeah, it was trickling past the main camp, but it was not yet flowing down past the lower big camp. That seep up there seems to work year round.
