It’s easy to be high on Hope Valley.
It has lakes, streams, a Sierra pass (Carson – CA-88) and aspen in abundance.
So, when Clayton Peoples sent these shots of photographs, captured on Thursday, I knew what to do with my Sunday … head there.
As I write this, breezes are rustling the leaves in the Sierra foothills and whistling over the gables and eaves of my house.
So, it will be an interesting comparison of what happens with four days of peak and a little bit of wind in this beautiful corner of the Sierra. 
Hope Valley (7,300′) – Peak (75-100%) GO NOW!
