August 19, 2006 Pyramid Peak (via Twin Bridges)

[Index | Trail map | High-Res | BayAreaDragon.com | Signite.com]

Group 1 (4 ppl) went up to Pyramid Peak via Pryamid Creek from the Twin Bridges trailhead. Started around 9:25 am and got to the peak around 2:20 pm. Came down the Rocky Canyon trail and got to the Twin Bridges trailhead just before 6pm. We ran into a group of really nice Sierra Club folks and hiked with them for the most part.

What a nice hike! We all thought we wouldn't see much besides rocks but in fact it was very beautiful, with alpine lakes and several dozen wildflower varieties. It was a lot of fun climbing the rocks. With each step up, we could see more and more below, including Lake Tahoe once we got close to the top.
