Description
Hands down one of the most exciting treks in the Sierra Nevada mountain range! Come hike with Wildland Trekking to one of the last remaining glaciers in the Sierra Nevada range, the Palisade Glacier. The glacier descends from jagged, granite peaks that are over 14,000 ft in elevation and are composed of what is known as North Palisade. We will also explore the Palisade lake basin visiting over 5 pristine, glacial meltwater lakes along the way. This trip is a must do in California’s less crowded, Inyo National Forest.
