Yosemite Trek/Day Hikes- 2014

The week was made wonderful by the “can-do” attitude of this Crew who had fires, smoke, rain, thunderstorms, and cold to deal with as they hiked over 50 miles in the High Country of Tuolumne Meadows/Yosemite National Park.
 
Huge thanks to the adults who made this trip possible:  Mr. Hanson, Mr. Bosworth, Mr. Holland, Mr. Killam, and Mr. Kuperstein!
We would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Bryon. As usual he helped make this an unforgettable experience for the scouts and the adults 
Over 50 miles of hiking: Our Scripps Ranch Troop 301’s 11th Trip to the High Country of Yosemite National Park.
