Bob Burd's Sierra Travels

Last Updated: Sat May 25 11:01:27 2013

While I still favor the Sierra Nevada, I can no longer claim to only stray now and then. I'm running out of the higher peaks in the Sierra, so I end up rambling about other parts of California as well as nearby states. If you're interested in a particular peak, they are listed in chronological order below, but not all peak names appear if you try to do a search. There is an alphabetized list below that has all of the peaks listed, just select the letter of interest. Almost all of my hiking/scrambling/climbing involves dayhikes of varying durations, some more than 20hrs in length. This is all part of a somewhat haphazard effort to show that any peak in California can be dayhiked given enough determination. That, and I happen to like hiking - a lot. :-)

Always interesting to read some of these classic hikes of yours, Bob.

I noticed though that on a couple of the pictures (#14 and #28) you have something down in the Owens Valley labeled as "Big Pine." I think that should be "Independence" instead, as Big Pine is quite a ways further North. Or am I wrong, and you really can see that far North from Williamson to Big Pine?
