In 2023, in spite of record shattering snowfall in the Sierra mountains of California, I am undertaking a thru-hike attempt of the Pacific Crest Trail in an effort to complete my Triple Crown! Follow along as I see just how far the trail will let me go!

Carson pass isnt the most rugged pass but its high enough to have some alpine scenery, good lakes and if you hit it right the flowers are spectacular. Its actually my favorite Tahoe pass although Mt Rose summit is also very pretty. Treeline is alittle lower further north and even though Carson pass is only alittle over 8,000 feet it looks just as alpine as some of the 9,000 and 10,000 foot passes in the southern sierra.

I used to take students backpacking around Frog Lake, Elephant's Back and Round Top Lake. Beautiful area...Great area for wildflowers.

WONDERFUL flowers out here!!

Incredible views! Thanks! I will never let “Shade” live down her new trail name Bravo Lima - awesome stuff!

@travelinbeat Год назад

Excellent!! I'm thrilled that that name will live on!!!

I wanted to revisit this video since I drove to a nearby campsite at Wet Meadows Reservoir near Indian Valley about a month after you were there. I took my family and we couldn't stand the mosquitos more than a single night. To top it off, there were fire restrictions, and there was an ear-tagged bear walking past our camp after it was all set up. The howling coyotes didn't help either. The views from this area can't be beat! Timing the mosquito hatches can't be possible in your case, but I can see why you start early while most blood suckers are still sleeping.

@travelinbeat 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I'm sorry to hear about the mosquitos you encountered, but honestly all the other things sound pretty cool to me!!

@pauls.8340 Год назад

Such an amazing view!! The lake, the 360 degree aspect. Thoroughly enjoying each and every post.

@robinfinehout1160 Год назад

Thanks for the view dedication Beat! Gorgeous, best one so far. Loved the flowers, lichen and camping spot. Bet the Milky Way is spectacular. Yes, you said my name right. Fine-hout. Sounds like “house”.

Fine-HOUT like HOUSE, got it, thank you so much! (And thank you again for the donation!!)

and btw, in the shot of you at the Carson Pass Management area sign, that was Elephant's Back in the background....

@travelinbeat 11 месяцев назад

Awesome!! I hadn't realized that that's Elephants Back! Thanks for pointing that out!

That was a great day! Outstanding views !

When I open an ammo box from now on, I will always think of nipple mountain and what it contained? Fantastically beautiful panoramic shot

We ride dirt bikes on that section of trail alot. Going to inspect it this weekend

Aren't bikes barred from PCT?

Another fantastic video!

Thank you!

@kimpatton6564 Год назад

Usually in a lower snow year that area is loaded with wildflowers-some 5 -6 ft tall on the hike up to showers lake out of Carson Pass.

@travelinbeat Год назад

Jeez!! And here I was impressed by what I saw!!

@kevinfarrell329 Год назад

Similar just north of Ebbets Pass, lots of boggy meadows and wildflowers. That stretch from Ebbets to Carson is a sweet little 2-3 day section hike.

@colleenyork7354 Год назад

Gorgeous views, what a spectacular day! Loved seeing the wildflowers, reminded me of the (way!) earlier PCT videos. Hope there were some trail magic goodies left for Bravo (Brava?!) Lima when she arrived! Great and powerful indeed! A beautiful day, thanks for sharing.

@travelinbeat Год назад

Reminds me of the desert too!! So astonishing to me to see the same types of flowers way so far away from the desert!!

@joannep2196 Год назад

Glad you guys reunited with Shade! I was wondering what happened to her. Beat (as in, not the vegetable 😉😄), you have the dubious distinction of being the first thru hiker on my first day volunteering at the Carson Pass Station.

@travelinbeat Год назад

What a profound honor!! It was wonderful to stop and visit you guys, you took such great care of us and I really appreciate you!!

@philipyoho8115 Год назад

Coming from a military background and having used the phenetic alphabet extensively, I love the Bravo Lima trail name. Those who know the story will know exactly what that stands for. Happy it turned out well too!

@travelinbeat Год назад

Haha, yeah I like that it kinda sounds like "Ballerina" too!

@marymogilski8054 Год назад

Kind of scary climbs you have

@richardinjapan4578 Год назад

Was that a geocache on top of The Nipple? As for the name being silly, I tend to feel that seeing three Tetons lined up in the Rockies is quite a bit sillier ... but ... then ... maybe I just don't understand the French psyche ... 🤔 Sorry for the silliness. I was very happy to hear your glowing report of the area at video's end. I got the feeling that you discovered that same sense of enchantment that has led me to babble previously about this region. In the High Sierra, the mountains were gracious. They let you pass. But in the Carson-Iceberg, the mountains are embracing you. Indeed, they are whispering: "We've been waiting for you. What took you so long to get here?"

@travelinbeat Год назад

Lovely thought, Richard, thank you!!

@richardinjapan4578 Год назад

@@travelinbeat You're welcome. Are you in the Cascades now (the Sierra/Cascade transition is in the climb out of Belden)?

@kevinfarrell329 Год назад

Probably had a sign in book at the peak? There's another one at the peak of (I think) Mt. Reynolds a ways back on the same section.

@travelinbeat Год назад

@kevinfarrell329 yes it was an ammo can for the log book

Go to round top peak and you will see Tahoe
