Lotus Petal Race 12in12, Race #9. Continuing the tradition of self-made-runs , I happened to pick Yosemite National Park for Lotus Petal race #9 - The High Sierra Camp Loop - a 51 miles through land of mystic wonders and majestic mountains and green lush valleys. Friday lunch at Lake Tenya! Hello Toulumne Meadows! Yosemite and Eastern sierras are close to me. The entire sierra region from Sonora pass to Whitney feels like second home. Spent many a nights in those neck of the woods and every trip back there feels like home. HSC loop (High Sierra camps) is God's country. A total of 6 camps make the loop, 5 of which are only accessible via horseback or hike-in. Tenaya Lake Base of HSC #1 Vogelsang This trip was in making for a while but kept getting postponed for one reason or another and finally both me and Vishal's (my running partner for this trip) aligned on Sep 30th. We were a week late as beginning of fall (Sep 24) made all the nearby campsites
