Early Season Mineral King

This post comes to you courtesy of Trail Guy. He took the photos for us to all enjoy.

This is Empire Peak. 

This is Timber Gap, to the left of Empire. Farewell Gap isn’t entirely visible in the next photo, but you can see Little Florence Peak, which is on the left side of the gap.

This is the view from the Timber Gap trail.

These are five-spot, an early flower.

And these are violets. Yes, I know they are yellow, but I didn’t name them.

Another view from the Timber Gap trail.

And these deer are just now remembering that people start showing up this time of year.

  1. Thank you trail guy. I look forward to many more to come. Have a safe summer.

  2. What a blessing to see these photos! We will be there middle of July! We would love hiking trail recommendations with info about length and difficulty! (That prob exists somewhere huh?)

    • Deb, we can email about that.

  3. All wonderful photos. Makes me “cabinsick!”

    How far up the Timber Gap trail did Trail Guy go? I feel a great sense of accomplishment if I just make it up to Groundhog Meadow!

    • Sharon, I think he went the whole way.
