Another trifecta. The endless switchbacks to Baden-Powell were not too bad, though above 9000 ft I sure slow down. There was plenty of time to continue to Burnham and Throop, with some great views from the ridge line and with some amazing gnarly trees along the trail, and I saw some some Mariposa Lilies. The picture below is the view of the ridge line/trail from Throop back to Baden-Powell. Most of this section is between 8000-9000 ft, so good elevation training as well. Per Gaiagps this was 13 miles, with 4146 ft elevation gain (and loss).
