Just wanted to report in about
another fabulous ride some friends
and I had in the Alpine Lakes
Wilderness. Sunday morning
(October 12th) we headed out on
our horses from the Pete Lake trail
head to Pete Lake then south on
the PCT. We rode up past the turn
off to the Spectacle Lake trail and up the switchbacks to the top where
we had amazing views looking down on Spectacle Lake and up at the
surrounding peaks. There was a light dusting of snow on the trail and
the weather was brisk and beautiful.
The forest service did a great job removing the debris of the avalanche
across the PCT just south of the turn off to Pete Lake. The trail looked
in wonderful condition with no new blow downs.
