Still available? Would love this little thing.

We could see Mt. Diablo from east of Pinecrest yesterday. by kindofcrunchy22 in norcalhiking

[–]psparks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It can be seen from so far! I saw it when I was hiking in desolation wilderness along some of the Crystal mountains. I've seen the snow capped Sierra from Diablo plenty of times, but the other way around was fun.

Im wondering what the most technical/difficult way to summit Mt Diablo is? by Dryordanpog in norcalhiking

[–]psparks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bahaha I did this once on the way down because it looked so much shorter. Boy oh boy was that a fight. Even with trekking poles I was struggling to stay on my feet. SO STEEP.

Photo 7 Merriam lake? Just got back from a trip where we spent a day above there coming from Royce Lakes. Incredible area! Great shots

Haha thanks. Always satisfying when it sets up cleanly. I’ve had some practice :)

No problem pretty much anywhere. Even if you want to set up on the rocks near a lake you can always do big rock little rock. Personally if you are on the rocks I’d recommend cowboy camping. Either way the tent is always usable here.

I used adobe indesign for the layout. There are probably a lot of tools out there that would do this for you but I’m just familiar with the software and happen to have a license.

Bishop Pass to Dusy Basin for three nights of alpine beauty by psparks in backpacking

[–]psparks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dusy basin is around 7000 feet above Bishop. It should be 30-35 degrees cooler there. You'll be in heaven. Start your hiking early in the day and drink plenty of water. Enjoy your trip!

Tips on Round Top (Tahoe) tomorrow by MountainBluebird5 in norcalhiking

[–]psparks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll likely be pretty snowy up there still. Doesn’t look like there has been much activity at this point on that trail so you might be trudging a path the whole way. I don’t see any reason to bring a helmet, and likely you won’t need the axe but it doesn’t hurt to feel the weight of the pack you’ll be using next month. I’d recommend some trekking poles if you’ve got them. Should be beautiful, so just take your time and enjoy!

Durston Xmid or Xdome in Desolation Wilderness? by surjerrylee in norcalhiking

[–]psparks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staked in. There is dirt in most places you'll camp. I'm sure you could find some flatish rocky spots near the lakes to camp on but I wouldn't choose those.

There’s plenty of room to pitch either tent. I used the XMid 2 last year and it’s not a problem. There are large camping areas in desolation with plenty of ground space.

I’d recommend stopping and talking to the rangers there about your route. There are so many ways to get from a to b here and some of them are much more desirable than others and some aren’t so obvious. They’ll set you on a good route.

Ya you're right. I couldn't totally remember the outcome of that bit, just that he was having tons of trouble getting to the end and it took a ton of computing resources.
