Elk Lake & South Sister - August 2006 : Anwen & I spent 4 days at Elk Lake this year. We didn’t do too much - a bit of swimming, canoeing, Ice cream eating & reading filled our days. Phil, Carrie & Nick joined us for the weekend and we climbed the South Sister. Well all of us except Anwen who said that after doing this twice there was no way in hell that she was going for a third time!!

Twin Peaks Hike : This Hike is strenuous if you hike from Tahoe City to Twin Peaks and back down via Stanford rock in a anti-clockwise circle.You start on the Tahoe Rim Trail( Tahoe City) at 6,400 ft and ascend for the first 6 miles to 8,700ft on Double Black Trails. The way down is easy but over 7 miles and ends at a small stream that you need to wade through to get back to the start point. Great hike 5-6 hours and 13 miles around. Easier if navigated clockwise as the climb at the start is more gradual, all of the other hikers we passed ( around 6) were hiking the opposite direction, now i know why!
