Today we will continue and complete our White Chief hike in photos. I always thought it was a short hike, but maybe someone moved White Chief, just like Franklin Falls got moved. My phone, masquerading as a camera, also told me that I went 7.5 miles and climbed the equivalent of 43 floors. Yes, indeed, it is a steep one.
The clouds were building up back toward Mineral King, and although it was still sunny in White Chief, the wind was downright chilly. So, I headed back.
Tomorrow I’ll tell you a couple of pieces of cabin life.

Absolutely glorious. Mineral King and its surroundings truly must be one of Earth’s most wonderfully beautiful places. How extraordinarily fortunate we are to be able to access it. MUST get up there at least once this summer. It’s been YEARS since we were there. Thanks so much for sharing your days there!
Quickety quick, Laurie, because the flowers are at peak right now!
Lots of flowers, especially the purpley ones!
What is the iOS app that shows you distance and elevation gain? It obviously works even without cell service, and I would like to get that app for my own curiosity!
Sharon, it is the health heart thing that comes with Apple. I don’t know what it is called.
Thank you for hiking that trail so we could see some of the beauty of Mineral King!!! Simply awesome.
Anne, it was my privilege and pleasure to hike it (huff, puff, huff, puff) and to share it with you!
