Join KV and John as they backpack from Convict Lake along the Convict Creek trail to explore alpine lakes in the High Sierras. They camp at Mildred Lake and Edith Lake and also hike along Lake Dorothy, Genevieve Lake, and Bighorn Lake. They enjoyed crafted cocktails and gourmet trail meals at the end of each day. This was a trip to remember.

Convict Lake has a storied "Wild West" past that would make Dodge City, Tombstone, and Carson City blush. Several convicts escaped from a Nevada prison and holed up in the Sierra mountains robbing-killing locals until they were pursued by a Sheriff posse ending in a deadly shootout for both sides. All the surviving fugitives were lynched by the locals. On the geological side, Convict Lake and surrounding mountains are millions if not billions of years old. It is quite amazing to see the Earth peeled back exposing millions upon millions of years of the Her history for all to see. You can see it in the images I captured. It's like the Grand Canyon got squished into 1/10 size.

Live simple. Live well.
