With everything else going on, I don't get out with the Sierra Club as much as I would like. But I carved out a day to do a hike I hadn't done before, Granite Mt. It was around 30 degrees when we started at the trailhead near Shelter Valley. But we quickly heated up as we left the wash and started climbing the first ridge. From there it got steeper and rockier as we scrambled up another couple thousand feet of elevation. The summit was quite windy and chilly. We hunkered down a bit below to eat a snack and rest up. Going down was often harder due to the slippery sand. It was a great hike in great weather! You can see my track
