Join KV on a solo backpacking adventure from Convict Lake along the Convict Creek trail to explore alpine lakes in the Mammoth High Country in the High Sierra Nevada. See the beautiful Mildred Lake and Dorothy Lake with commanding views of Mt. Baldwin, Mt. Aggie, Mt. Morrison and Red Slate Mountain.

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 1/100 size.

Live simple. Live well.
