I went on a four day solo backpacking trek in the Sierra Nevada, hiking up the Cottonwood Lakes Trail, over Old Army Pass to Soldier Lake, followed by a long day hiking cross-country through the spectacular Miter Basin, then over Crabtree Pass and down past the Crabtree Lakes to Crabtree Meadow, where I barely made it into my tent before an hours-long thunderstorm hit. I spent the next two days hiking back to my car in Horseshoe Meadows via the Pacific Crest Trail.
