Backpacking the Emigrant Wilderness

This past weekend Shveta, Meesha, Pritesh, and I took a short overnight backpack trip into the Emigrant Wilderness. It was an easy 2.8 mile hike from Crabtree Camp to Camp Lake, where we stayed. After setting up camp, we all took a quick dip in the lake before heading up to our campsite for dinner.

Dinner consisted of Santa Fe Pasta, which was good, and Bavarian chocolate mousse, which was a big letdown. Afterwards we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset, beautiful stars (we could even see the Milky Way!), and a nice warm campfire. The next morning we chowed down some oatmeal and headed back to San Jose. A really nice trip, and only about 3-4 hour drive from here, we'll definitely have to go back! Hopefully Meesha will post pictures soon as I didn't remember to bring my camera.
