DAY FOUR
Awaken early to climb out of the valley and deep into the isolated reaches of the park. We realize we haven’t seen another soul for three days in this withdrawn range. Veering off-trail, we scramble over rocks to camp by the shores of a hidden mountain lake, so secluded, it was never named.

Watch for bears in Beehive Meadow! As we head downhill, we marvel at new views of Hetch Hetchy and reflect on our past selves first laying eyes on the water- we have changed so much during our adventure. We cross the dam and say goodbye to this far-flung world filled with insight.
