Well a buddy and I explorered a new Sierra Mountain tral the last 3 days. This trail is located north of highway 80 and runs along the valley next to Hwy 80. Its about 12 miles long and runs from the eagle lakes east to meadows lake. Some people believe it is mor difficult then the Rubicon and it is rated a 10 on the difficulty scale. The difference between this trail and the rubicon is there are very few bypass trail past the most difficult parts. It started out pretty simple with smaller sized rocks and climbs. By day two and tree on the 11 mile trail it was long climbs with massive rocks and rock climbs. We were stacking rock like crazy on the last couple of hills to make our way up to meadow lake. If you have been on this trail you know how difficult the last few winch hills are. There isn't only winch hills, but water crossings trough the fast moving river. And even a bit of muddy swamps and riveens. It was a hoot though. Great way to break in the new SAS
