    VIDEO: Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe

    This is my journey on getting back on the trail. I had not done a multiple day trip in a few years due to me having a heart attack back in 2018. So this is my first big trip out.

    I hope you enjoy the scenery as much as I did.

    We went via the Eagle Fall Trailhead just outside of Emerald Bay. We did a short loop about 10 miles over 3 nights. It was very hot, for my standards as I do not like backpacking in weather over 75 degrees. My body overheats. The hardest part of the trail was going up 1.6 miles over 1200ft elevation gain in 80F. After that the trail levels out. I had done this trail before, so I knew what I was getting into but my friends had never done it. So it was fun sharing the beauty with others. So now I want to share it with you!

    Beautiful scenery, inspiring message. I’d be tossing stuff out my pack. But considering the regulations and length of trip, you did as well as could possibly be done. You have a good outlook on life.
    Thank you for sharing with us hammock creatures!
