What goes up must come down… and then go back up and back down, etc. We descended a very winding road from the Sierra Nevada back to the Central Valley and then back up to camp in a different part of the range. Most exciting was going downhill to Lake Isabella. The road signs warned of an 11% grade for five miles.
Now, I’m not much of a numbers guys, but I could tell it was time for Dad to put it in low gear and be ready to apply the brakes.
On an unrelated note, later in the day we did a day hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Walker Pass area. We met a “thru-hiker” who was on her way from Mexico to Canada. I’m pretty sure that’s a lot of trail miles to cover.
