0 (+8) Miles (Kearsarge Pass)
We were last to leave camp, but it was chilly so we were fine to stay in the warmth of our quilts a little longer. Great views the whole day, which seems like it will be the case for this entire section. It’s incredibly beautiful. The climb out to our ride first took us to Bull Frog Lake trail, then up and over Kearsarge pass, and then down to Onion Valley trailhead. Along the way we were passed by Maverick and then immediately ran into Melania, our wonderful AirBnB host from Ridgecrest. She already had plans to camp at Onion Valley and when she found out we were looking for a ride from there to Bishop, she offered to take us. Such a great person and we couldn’t be more thankful. Melania, her friend Maria, and dog Axel continued on their hike up while we continued down to hang out at their campsite and await their return. Melania drove us all the way to Bishop and dropped us off at our hotel. Many, many thanks to her. We checked in, got our resupply, and picked up pizza and wings before crashing.
