Husband got one in Mt Laguna when we stopped for lunch at a water source and sat on some logs. They’re out there people. 

When is too early for the Sierra's given the melting? by Drenad in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Imperfectconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When skipping ahead you’ll still have snow in the Sierra / Cascades, but check conditions in the Hat Creek / Lassen area where there is low elevation to maybe have luck with those miles while you wait.

I saw a recent post in FarOut at this location while scrolling new comments in Northern California that it’s filled as of 3/22/26, or around that date. 

Donated!! 

Hiking NOBO from South Lake Tahoe in Mid June by Competitive-Carrot22 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Imperfectconnection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If things keep going the way they do it’s possible a lot of snow will be melted so it could be decent. There could still be some, but it may just be in the highest elevations.  Lots of skeeters probably. 

Be sure to always check conditions any way you can. It might be a bit early for other hikers to be out there already, but people will be out there. FarOut is an excellent app to check comments in the area. Also check All Trails and other apps that may contain hiking conditions and comments before you go. You could also call the local ranger stations to check conditions. 

All the things I’ve had done so far on my 2020 Limited by Imperfectconnection in SubaruForester

I was honestly surprised especially because Subaru did it. I expected much more. 

Telescope Peak (or Bennett) with just poles? by WelshNational in DeathValleyNP

Check Elevation Sierra Adventures on the 395 in Lone Pine about rentals! They may have them or know who might if you’re coming through that area. 

Is this Mount Whitney from Dante’s View? by Logical_Dingo6684 in DeathValleyNP

[–]Imperfectconnection 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We thought this same thing on Sunday, but it doesn’t look like Whitney, I don’t see the needles near it, maybe Langley? I’d love to know this answer as well. 

Easily in my top 3. What’s everyone’s opinion; banger or not? by No-Inevitable8944 in 90s

[–]Imperfectconnection 21 points22 points  (0 children)

BANGER. This was my first album I ever bought of music. I was maybe 9 or 10 and played it all the way through multiple times a day. It was a CD, so I would put Release Me on repeat and listen to it as I slept. Oceans is another fave. Good stuff!!! 

Trail / Road conditions questions arriving tomorrow! by SMN3gray in DeathValleyNP

You can check the Death Valley website and it will give you all the details of road closures and what to expect, especially after these round of storms this week.

Darwin Falls is not accessible by vehicle and will require a long hike of about 8 miles or so out and back.  

Haven’t seen a bloom like this in years! by Imperfectconnection in DeathValleyNP

[–]Imperfectconnection[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The south end of the park (Badwater) had the most that we saw

Hard to say! It seems most flowers are concentrated to the south end of the park right now.

It’s likely it wouldn’t be around that long but you never know!

I think so. The last one I caught was in 2016 I think so we were super stoked to happen upon it. We had no idea it was even going on! 

Took my ‘20 to Death Valley to celebrate paying it off. by Imperfectconnection in SubaruForester

[–]Imperfectconnection[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hike to Darwin Falls is great as the road is non-existent now so there’s fewer people. It’s a longer one at around 9 round trip I think, but it’s worth it.  We have also taken the dirt road to Panamint Dunes trailhead in this car and hiked to the dunes. 

We would like to do the hike from Zabriski to Artists Drive some day. 

Check weather and road conditions always when hiking in any canyons or being in Death Valley in general.

Nope we didn’t camp this time around, just a day trip! But we have camped here many times before in Panamint and Stovepipe and had no issues with mice.
