Our next Eastern Sierra video is live, and this one tells the story of an adventure that didn’t quite go as planned. The Big Pine Creek area is home to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful high-altitude scenery in California, and we were so excited to get out on the trail and explore.

Our goal for the day was to hike the North Fork of Big Pine Creek Trail up to the stunning alpine lakes. We started out full of energy, surrounded by incredible views of the granite peaks, beautiful waterfalls, and the crystal-clear creek. The trail is known for being difficult, but we were ready for a good challenge.
As we gained elevation, the hike became more and more strenuous. It was a beautiful day, but the combination of the altitude and the steep, rocky terrain was incredibly challenging. We pushed ourselves, but eventually, we reached a point where we had to stop and assess the situation.
Every hiker knows that one of the most important skills is knowing your limits. For us, on this day, we had to make the tough but responsible decision to turn back before reaching our final destination. It's always disappointing, but safety is the number one priority, and sometimes the mountain lets you know when it's time to head down.
Even though we didn't "complete" the hike, it was still an incredible day filled with unforgettable scenery. Sometimes the journey is more about the experience than the destination. We hope you enjoy sharing this very real and challenging adventure with us!
