Upper Basin Trail November 30, 2023


After an overnight wintery storm, two hikers met at Silver Peak TH and decided the chilly day under partly cloudy skies was the perfect opportunity to hike the Upper Basin Trail, which bakes hikers in full sun during most months. The hiking weather and views were spectacular! There was a dusting of snow on the trail in our first mile (snowshoes or crampons not required) and abundant bear sign with no bear sightings.


















Our hiking duo covered a lot of ground on our favorite places: Alaska,  British Columbia, California, Maine, Montana, Sweden, Denmark, Paradise and Portal. For our actual hike, we stopped to check out Welch Seep (no seep found) then hiked to the intersection with Greenhouse Road, just under 3 miles, and turned back to the trailhead, stopping for lunch with a sweeping view. A chilly start to a beautiful day!

Next Week Thursday December 7, 9AM we’ll meet at Silver Peak TH and decide then the day’s adventures. Report and photos by our hiking duo, Eskild and Nancy. (In reality Nancy)
