Amy Schreiber and myself had a great time on Pyramid Peak during early October. The trail was steep on the way up, at least in sections, but wasn't too terribly bad. The terrain opened up about halfway through the ascent, and we had some fun scrambling on those Sierra Nevada granite slabs. The final section to the summit was also an enjoyably sustained section of boulders. Views from the top were nice but not spectacular...I did like looking down upon Desolation Valley and Lake Aloha. We then descended back to Highway 50, cleaned up, and followed that with a dinner in Placerville at the Bricks Eats & Drinks.
