Red’s Meadow to Minaret Lake Distance: 17.60km Elevation Gain: 1,070m
Hiked from Red’s Meadow past Superior Lake, over Nancy Pass and camped beside Minaret Lake. The way down from Nancy Pass was a little complex and it took longer than expected to get to Minaret Lake.
Devils Postpile. A columnar basalt formation just beyond Red’s MeadowAfter 4 hours of hiking I was approaching Nancy Pass – the low spot in the middle of the photo. Gotta hike through those bushes and then up the steep line in the middle
Bushwhacking up to Nancy PassGorgeous view from the top of Nancy Pass. It was incredibly impressive. I stayed on the pass for 45 minutes to take it all in, WOW was all I could say.
