Day 6 Madera Canyon


Today we decided to do a hike in Madera Canyon. We drove up through the park until we reached the start of Old Baldy Trail. According to the Sierra Club, it is a class A hike and was probably more than we should have done, but what did we know? It was a 2.2 mile hike up a somewhat steep and very rocky trail to Josephine Shoulder which is at 7,500 feet. On the way up, we passed or were passed by 10 or 15 bird watchers. They're unbelievable...they were running up and down the mountain all looking for the same stupid bird and when they finally found one, you would have thought Elvis was spotted. We managed not to get run over and two hours later we were back at the car and kinda tired. The rest of the afternoon we watched the football games and went to Trivetti's for dinner. At least we got a little exercise.
