John and I did this hike Wed, starting way down the Soda Springs road from
earlier hikes…we couldn’t drive all the way to Soda Springs (a gate was in the
way) so we walked in a mile, mile and a half, to the trail head. It was 12
miles more or less with the last mile being kinda brutal. Lovely day, and we
met a through hiker on the PCT, which we joined a mile or two south of Tinker’s
knob. Said hiker was in his sixties and heading south to pick up a section or
two that he said he’d missed. Other than that, nobody. The trail was great,
less great, goat track, while inclining up and up. The cabins/people around
Soda Springs do NOT want company; this made evident by numerous signs, etc. A
long, fun day; ending with John and I learning how to change a tire on the
Tundra. Successfully, I might add.
The Google Earth path shows the trail looking to the west, more or less.
