Backpacking Piute Pass: My Solo Trip Was Cut Short by Unexpected Winds
What was meant to be a 2-day solo backpacking trip into Humphrey’s Basin turned into a one-night stay at Piute Lake after unexpected high winds forced me to change plans. Follow along as I navigate the elements, soak in the alpine views, and make the most of a short but beautiful solo adventure in the Eastern Sierra. 📍 Shot on Native Nüümü (Northern Paiute) Land Jump Ahead: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - North Lake Campground to Loch Leven 04:48 - Loch Leven to Piute Lake 06:00 - Camp at Piute Lake 07:58 - Dinner 12:35 - Wind 13:14 - The Next Morning 15:41 - Leaving Camp 17:20 - Closing Thoughts ✨ More trails, photos, and adventures on the blog: https://www.hikeology-la.com 📸 Follow along on Instagram: / hikeology 🧭 Get 30% Off AllTrails: https://alltrails.pxf.io/c/3574867/20... ⛺️ Gear: Gregory Amber 55L Backpack https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/jqA...
