This was another day of the hottest heat wave of the summer. Temperatures were in the upper 90s, but we were mostly in the shade. July 4th was on Sunday, and this was July 5th so we were off for the Holiday. We started at the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center on 7 Lakes Drive and took the Pine Meadow Trail and headed east till the Stony Brook Trail to the Kakiat Trail. Continued along the Kakiat Trail till the Seven Hills Trail, and then veered off north on the Seven Hills up the scramble, and then continued to the great view on the top. It is interesting that the trail conference maps don't show the view lookout here despite this being one of the best lookouts in the park.
Continued to the intersection of the Hillburn Torne Sebage (HTS) Trail on top of Diamond Mnt, and headed down the HTS back toward the Pine Meadow Brook valley. From there took the Pine Meadow Trail back to the trailhead.
