Santa Clause to Miranda (day 1)

GPS stats: Mileage: 9.6 mi

Elevation: 8 800 ft

Speed: 3.2 mi/hr

Today we’re at Miranda. This camp is beautiful. You’re hiking along the trail when you come to a vast meadow, there are white pines lining all sides of this camp and over the tops of the trees you can see the reddish mountain top that gave Baldy it’s names. It is absolutely gorgeous.

We’ll be here for two days and tomorrow we hike Baldy. I’ve waited two years to summit Baldy, so I can’t wait. We’ll be on the trail before day break. It should be exciting! Baldy is 12,441 ft in elevation, that’s 11,700 or more feet about Lewistown.

We shot muzzle loader today. That was fun. I really like Miranda so far and the staff has been great.

Thorn: None

Rose: Shooting muzzle loader
