Day 116: The Month of Anniversary Hikes

This October 2nd, 2008 marked our fourth wedding anniversary. Four years! Wooo! Unfortunately though, that day was spent in the van cruising pavement somewhere in Wyoming rather than busting our butts up our annual “anniversary hike.” A quick refresher of anniversary hikes: Last year took us (most of the way) up Long’s Peak in Colorado. The year before that across the Grand Canyon and back. And the year before that North Dome in Yosemite, California. The timing of doing a big hike exactly on the second day in October in the midst of a cross-country drive didn’t quite work out so well. So to make it up to ourselves, now that we’re settled here in Bishop for the next two months with nothing on the agenda aside from climbing up some big rocks, we’ve decided to deem the *entire* month of October “The Month of Anniversary Hikes.” Which in short means if we’re not climbin’, we’ll be hikin’!’

Our first Bishop hike: Blue Lake (10,400 feet) via the Lake Sabrina trailhead (9,400), 7.6 miles.
