Pawnee Pass 51k Adventure
Grand Canyon south rim, Antelope Canyon
California: Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey
Pawnee Pass: Lakes including Crater, Mirror, Pawnee, Isabelle, Brainard, and Long, Continental Divide, Colorado
22-mile roundtrip from Brainard Lake Recreation area, past Long Lake to Lake Isabelle, and over Pawnee Pass (12,550 elevation) to Pawnee Lake, Mirror Lake and Crater Lake. Adventure took just under 7 hours with over 5,600 feet of ascent. Sleet and high-winds started when I summited the Pass on my way back, making for a cold and wet return trip. At times it felt like I was in a dance with the storm, running down the trail in and out of its front edges. The descent from the Pass down toward Pawnee Lake is steep and very rocky, but the variety of wildflowers once you got lower is unmatched!
