Mike, Dusy  Basin Summit - Sierra Nevada  2007

from the notes:

8/25/07—Saturday

5:45 AM—Up early. 50º.

7:25—Leave camp.

7:45—JMT/Bishop Pass trail junction. Put on sunscreen.

8:15—Sunrise.

9:30—Breakfast.

10:00—10,000’ sign.

10:45—Bridge, cascade. Change sox, replenish water etc.

12:20—Top of canyon, beginning of Dusy Basin.

12:45—Campsite, overlooking Lake 10742.

5:20—62º. Large clouds in the area. Nice light for rock photos. Sunset will be much later here than in the canyon.

Far too many people camping in this area. Probably because it’s the first stop coming up from the canyon, and the last stop before heading down.
