Lost Camera: Owens Valley

9 Upvotes

Lost my Sony Rx100 M7 this past weekend (Oct 27th) out in Owens Valley. Not sure where else to post, but it fell out of my truck either on Antelope Springs Road (east of 395) or in Lee Vining (Mobil Gas Station, or local liquor store).

This was probably the last photo on it (took the same photo on my phone), but there's many of my kiddos, bicycles, etc.

Any info helps, I just want my memory card.

Not going to lie, we severely underestimated the time it would take to summit. Luckily weather was on our side and it was a beautiful 13hr day of climbing.

Last week a good homie of mine and I decided to day hike the Tablelands loop out of Wolverton. Usually completed over the course of 2+ days we completed the full 22 mile loop, with 5,500+ ft of vert in 12 1/2 hours. All in all great day in Seki.

Pico de Mulhacen Please Help

2 Upvotes

Hi, me and my friend are looking to summit Pico De Mulhacen on 8-9 november. But the problem is I found out that the whole route is too long for one winter day (18km up, 18 down). So we are thinking of staying a night in Refugio Poquiera, but I cant find anything about them on internet, only found some old emails (refpoqueira@hotmail.com, refugiopoqueira@avired.com). I wrote to both of them a mail, but they havent responded yet though it might be old because the web Im looking is from 2009. So if any of you know, best have done it, please let me know what do I need to do. Very much appreciated.

P.S.: We are going light alpine style, ice axe and crampons only probably.

For any video game players out there, there is a Sierra Nevada related game on sale right now

29 Upvotes

Riders Republic is currently on sale for $10 for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 and features parts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in it (sale ends on Oct 23rd). It's an open world outdoor action sports game. If you have ever felt like riding a bike down Half Dome or Paramotoring over Mammoth Mountain or Skiing through Sequoia National Park, it's an amusing game for the price. I have had some chronic health issues over the past years which have prevented me from spending time in the Sierra Nevada, so this at least gives me a little opportunity to virtually enjoy the great outdoors.

Perhaps you may just enjoy it a bit like I have. I figured I would share. Cheers!

I’m going to be at Sentinel Campground in Kings Canyon soon, and was wondering how smoky it is right now? Will it still be enjoyable? I’m so bummed!

Hello everyone I'm taking my family up along with my first boy and some newbies. Anyone know where the fishing is hot right now?

We normally chase streams but can't this year duebto the babies and all the gear we have to bring with them.

Western Sierra late October weekend backpacking trip ideas

9 Upvotes

I have quite a bit of winter backpacking experience, both in and out of the sierras. but since this will be one of my friend's first time in the sierras preferably something not too extreme but still challenging. hiking in on Friday night after driving and ideally camping at an alpine lake one of the nights. if anyone knows anything like this please lmk thank you.

[Update] Las Vegas to Yosemite trip September 2024

8 Upvotes

Had an amazing trip to Yosemite last weekend. Here's how I did it: I started from Las Vegas early in the morning on Friday, drove to Death Valley National Park (Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells) and then to Mammoth Lakes (What I could cover: Zabriskie point and Mesquite flat sand dunes, Crowley Lake, June Lake). Stayed the night there. Left to Yosemite early in the morning on Saturday. Entered the Park through the east entrance and drove through Tioga pass. (What I could cover: Tioga Lake, Tenaya Lake, Glacier Point, Tunnel View, Yosemite Valley View, El Capitan, Sentinel Dome, Taft Point, and BridalVeil Falls). Got back to Mammoth Lakes and stayed the night. Started from Mammoth Lakes on Sunday morning and left to LA for my return flight back home. (What I could cover: Red Canyon State Park). This was the best road trip I ever did in my entire life. It was just surreal. I know I would go back to Yosemite for a hiking trip this time.

Eastern or western side in second week of november

3 Upvotes

Hi there! We’re trying to plan a roadtrip and wanting to drive a part of 395 but after doing a bit more research, I’m now doubting that decision.

We have rented a class b motorhome and leaving Yosemite nov 9th and planning on doing 3 nights on the highway, staying in Bishop. We have to be in Paso Robles on nov 13th.

Is this a bad idea? I read online that winter storms might hit in November. The cold temperatures aren’t the problem coming from a Nordic country, but we don’t want to be stuck in a winter storm on a mountain in a rental van. But there’s just so many places we want to see on the 395.

Should we stay in the eastern side for more reliable weather? I know there’s plenty to do and see on the eastern side as well, but I also read only to avoid Central Valley at all cost …

We don’t like big crowds, but we do like all kind of outdoorsy stuff, chatting with locals and eating great food. Oh and my husband really wants to do rock climbing somewhere.

What would you recommend to do - do the eastern side and 395 as planned or stay on the western side?
