For those about to hike, we salute you. And for those returning to their cars after a long hike,
hallelujah. What began as a crazy idea on our last hike, materialized on Wednesday: let's go out to Red Peak Pass 18 miles away, then summit the peak and come down the other side, then hike back. 36 miles, all in fourteen hours, leaving from Mono Meadow near Glacier Point. This time
Rojo and I recruited our ultra-runner bartender, Kelly, to slow down and walk with us, and provide the transportation. The logistics are simple: leave the valley at 5:30am and start walking at 6:30am from the trail head. Never stop walking until you return to the car at 8:30pm, with headlamps on. Then drive down to the Curry Bar where beer and pizza is waiting. Then take a shower to get the dirtiest feet ever clean. Then fall
asleep. Simple. Then over beers the next day begin dreaming of new hike from the north border of the park to the south border of the park.....
